This stunning hanging sunflower head is one of a range I have made to order. Each one is different from the last, some with 'overlapping' petals, some using opaque glass - you can choose in discussion with me.

My most popular design has over 30 transparent, textured petals and costs £150, simpler designs are possible and this could reduce the price depending on the number of petals and complexity of the design.

This is a stunning interpretation of one type of sunflower which has been designed to hang in your home, ideally in a window or against a mirror. It will bring it's sensational 'wow' factor to wherever you choose to hang it.

It can be made using a variety of shades of amber and yellow glass, transparent or opaque, with a range of dark or light shades and with a dark or lighter centre
The process starts with drawing out and cutting about 20/25 petals from the a range of textured stained glass in a variety of shades of amber and yellow.

Each petal is ground smooth ready to be copper-foiled and bead soldered.

The centre is made from two pieces of differently textured stained glass chosen to compliment the selection of petals for the particular sunflower. They are each cut and ground smooth and copper foiled togther, then tin soldered.

The design of the final piece will then commence, which is the reaaly enjoyable part, with all the pieces being carefully chosen and positioned to create the final design of petals around the centre. They are all bead soldered together and two hand made hoops attached in a discret place at the back of the flower head, to give a placce for the chain or nylon cord to be threaded through.

The final piece will then be thoroughly washed and dried before a copper patina is applied, and then the final polish.
