Beautiful suncatchers. Puts a new swing on how to hang. Thanks for posting

Beautiful....are they sodered in?? How are they put together...

Wow Love those! Very good pics considering how you had to shoot them, Sylvia. ~tenderlee

Leveta, as far as I could tell the glass pieces were leaded in place, I don't know if that's the correct term. They were set in lead, like stained glass.
I think the hangers were soldered on though, especially the ones on the copper tubing, I'm fairly certain of that.

Wow! I take one of each please! Those are just beautiful! Wish I knew how to lead things, but I don't. I just love them all!

Gee thanks...I just drooled on my keyboard!! LOL

Those are awesome! I've seen the square ones at craft shows before, but not the fancy ones. I would dearly love to be able to do something like that with some of the great glass pieces I have.

Of course, I'm partial to the big blue one!

Did you notice the average price for a piece like that? They are very high level art compared to anything I've ever done. I would love to learn more about glass work someday. Thank you so much for showing us those beautiful pieces. Glad you got to see your mom!!! Susie

Well Crap!! I don't need another hobby, but I LOVE those! I just have to figure out how to make them. Grrrr

:) Thanks for the wonderful pictures they are truly beautiful, and I have half those plates in my "totem" collection.. I think a trip to Hobby Lobby for lead, and supplies is in order..

dulcimerduo,
when you figure out how to do them, LET US KNOW!!!
They are gorgeous and I'm in LOVE!!!

Oh Wow! I have never seen any quite like those! They are great! I can look at them and pretty much figure out how to do them. The pieces of glass have thin lead lines around each piece and then they are soldered together. I wouldn't copper foil them since it doesn't hold up well in the elements. I am going to have to pull out the lead and glass and pretty dishes and put some together. I can't wait now....too bad I don't have time tonight....maybe this weekend. I have done the basic technique many times...just have never seen any like these.

Thank you Sylvia, those are incredible! Micki I thought as soon as I saw them that you could make them.

OK Micki I think you should post a step by step tutorial when you make one. I'd love to see how it's done!
: )

Smick...second row down...first one on the left...
try that one!!! (moon shaped cooper with the brown round center that looks like a tree trunk piece!) And, if you don't want it, you can sell it to me! :-) :-OK? Have fun! You will be great!

Dulci...same with you...if you goof it up, send it my way! :-O Ok, maybe just some good pics & instructions!

Thanks, nmgirl, for sharing these...and good luck on selling your home! Jeanne S.

Wow!! antique dishes & lead! What a great way to enjoy the past in something that looks new & "in"!! Micki can't wait to see your take on them!! I'm sure it will be lovely!! Jan

What great ideas! Jeanne S. ... we love the same one! I was trying to figure out a way to make them differently, like a mosaic or something. The wheels are churning ...

Those are gorgeous. I want that moon one so bad I can't stand it. WOW.
Does that crafter have a web site or sell online you think?

Susierose, I didn't think to check the prices, I was trying to snap photos and not get run over. There was a lively trade going on though, people were lined up to pay.
Karen, no idea if there's a website. Apparently this artist is a regular at the market so next time I'm there I'll be more inquisitive.

How big are the big glass globs on these? They look pretty big and I haven't been able to find any like them....Maybe I will have to make my own...

Those are VERY cool! Thanks so much for posting them!
