Butterfly Blues Suncatcher in Green

Sometime ago we obtained some old Spectrum Iridescent glass that was in an old lamp that could not be fixed. In return we made this butterfly which measures approximately 7 inches wide by 9 inches high. The initial design was titled Butterfly Blues however the lady from Red Deer who gave us the green iridescent glass wished for a butterfly using some of that glass and this is what we made for her. In addition to the green glass being iridescent so are those yellowish oval pieces.

The design was obtained from Suzanne Cooper and Donna Schulze who we met in 1999 in Apache Junction Arizona. Donna was a wonderful person who along with her daughter ran a stained glass studio, where we initially purchased glass and supplies, unfortunately a few years later we learned of the passing of Donna Schulze.

Garden Small Butterflies June 2014

These are the same as the larger garden butterflies but measure approximately 2 x 3 inches. They also are attached to a 2 ft metal rod. The antenna are made from 1 piece of tinned wire, with the tips bent to hold a dab of solder, then the middle of the wire is bent together and soldered into the seam in the same manner as the larger ones. These too make neat additions to your summer flower and garden beds.
