Spiders Web Suncatcher Stained Glass with Red Spider and Ladybird 046

This is a stained glass suncatcher made entirely by hand using the Tiffany copper foil technique. A spider's web, complete with red spider and a fly, a Ladybird, both detachable. It is made with all different types, textures of beautiful clear glass including iridescent, streaky, rain drops, Most of my glass pieces are bright and colourful. This, except for the insects, is monochrome but very effective. Though the glass is all virtually colourless the web takes colour from the different types of glass within it and especially the iridescent pieces which have pink and turquoise shimmers.. There are also three little bits of mirror added in for very good effect, as the mirrors reflect things going past and give the web lovely movement. I've added some decorative spider's eggs at the base with solder as this is definitely the time of year the spider's like to expand their families. It comes complete with its own detachable little quirky red spider and a little fly, made from wire and a ladybird glass bead. It looks quite stunning hanging in the window where it catches the light and would make a lovely ornament for any room. It is especially effective hanging on a wall rather than in the window. I have attached a piece of twisted wire with a ring at the top for hanging. It is 7 inches in diameter. This item is absolutely unique. I never make two pieces exactly the same, I always use slightly different colours / textures of glass. I made my first spider's web for my own bathroom in 2009 but someone wanted to buy it so I sold it and have never managed to keep one for myself since.
