This beautiful Red Poppy is my latest design interpretation of this joyous flower.

Here is a permanent reminder of the flower, made to hang in a window or againgst a mirror in your home. It is supplied with a nylon line you can use to hang it with but please don't use a window suction hook as my feeling is that it will not be strong enough for the weight of the flower.

Ravishing Red Stained Glass Hanging Poppy Head

This beautiful flower is an amazing addition to any window or mirror in your home. It will bring it's sensational 'hit' of red to wherever you choose to hang it.

It is made from a fabulous piece of stained glass which has been made with an uneven spread of red colouring and an undulating, uneven surface which helps to give the right appearance for this the petals.

It should be positioned against a surface which will not move, to avoid damage to the petals.
The process starts with drawing out and cutting five petals from the same randomly textured stained glass and then carefully reshaping each one individually so the general shape develops into a more uneven edging, to help to give the effect of a crinkled petal with movement. Each piece is then reshaped in more detail and ground smooth ready to be copper-foiled and bead soldered.

Then all the pieces are combined with the copper-foiled and soldered glass nugget, which forms the centre.

The whole piece is bead soldered together, the central hoops are made and attached to the centre for the nylon line to be attached two more hoops are made and attched to the back of two petal edges to allow the poppy head to hang in the right position. The middle section has extra solder added to represent the stamens before the whole piece is thoroughly washed, treated with black patina and polished.
