Spring is here and frogs are starting their chorus of wonderful sounds.
We make these out of a discontinued Bullseye Ring Mottle Glass which is prefect glass – fortunately we still have a few sq.ft. to make more.
The eyes are green glass nuggets and we also use yellow ones, along with copper or black patina on the soldering.
The large ones are about 6 x 4 inches and the smaller ones about 4 x 3.5 inches, attached to a metal rod which can vary in length depending on whether one wants to have them indoors in a potted plant or out doors in the garden.
We are sure lots of folks across the west have seen and heard the return of the Canada Geese. A wonderful sight and their distinctive honking sounds, you know that warmer weather is not far off.
It’s springtime in Alberta and for the past month or so Canada Geese have been returning by the thousands. They stay and nest all over Alberta and it will not be long before we see goslings with their parents.
However you can enjoy them year round with one of these sun catchers.
