Kaui Hawaii Beach Wedding Present 2024

An awesome couple who are good friends were married in late 2023. When he proposed to his future wife it was on a beach on the island of Kaui Hawaii. As a wedding present for them we designed this circular panel measuring 16 inches in diameter from Kaui beach pictures and also utilized some ideas and features of a Kee Beach panel we made many years ago.

The photo below shows the construction of the wedding panel – we were fortunate to have some very neat art glass on hand to complete this panel which included some Youghiogheny and Bullseye.

Abstract Panel Wedding Present 2016

In June of this year we made this for clients in Central Alberta who were giving this panel as a wedding present. The panel measures approximately 17 inches high x 31 inches wide.

Our clients found the design on the internet and lucky for them we were able to obtain the Spectrum Glass that they wanted.

We used Spectrum’s Clear White Baroque, Pearl Opals Congo & Hawkwings, Clear Crystal Ice, Brown/Gold and 1 x 1 inch bevels.

The first picture shows the completed panel before the zinc frame was attached.

Alphabet Floral Letter “G”

The Gladiola flower is represented in the alphabet letter “G”. We believe that we made this suncatcher letter about 10 – 12 years ago. As Gladiolas’s come in many colors one can choose different flower and letter colors to suit the tastes and decor of whom they plan on giving one to or for their own home.

Tear Drop Heart

Over the years we have made these beautiful Tear Drop Hearts, which also has a hanging Swarovski Strass Crystal. We use Spectrum granite iridescent, along with frosted glass and they measure approximately 8 inches high x 7 inches wide, complete with a fine silver chain. When using clear glass we like to put black patina on the solder lines, but one must ensure to use black backed foil (7/32) to further enhance your piece, along with using Kwik Clean for cleaning and polish to make this wonderful suncatcher. These make wonderful gifts as they complement many decors.
