Our process of creating stained glass birds

Creating stained glass birds is an art that involves numerous steps, intricate techniques, and meticulous attention to detail. The first step of creating any suncatcher is designing. When creating the sketch of different birds, we try to implement their unique characteristics in the peculiar suncatcher style - from the tenderness of hummingbirds and chickadees to the majesty of peacocks and owls.

Once the design is finalized, we move on to selecting the textured glass for each stained glass piece. It is crucial to pick the right material to ensure the final piece can catch and disperse light beautifully. We use a combination of vibrant colors and textures to capture the bird’s spirit. Then, each section gets carefully cut and fitted to follow the outline and direction of the bird patterns (like a warbler or a bluebird).

Why buy a stained glass bird?

Stained glass birds are a unique art piece, able to fit into virtually any home and bring a lot of joy there. As a gift for a loved one or a treat for yourself, they are fabulous.

How to choose a perfect stained glass bird suncatcher?

Picking the right stained glass bird piece is almost as delightful as actually getting one. Here are a few things to consider to get the suncatcher that will bring the most joy and style into your (or the other recipient’s) home:

1. Select the area: First, decide where you would like to place the piece - usually, it is a wall or a window. Birds stained glass windows are often preferred due to the amount of sunlight they receive.

2. Measure the dimensions: Take measurements of the chosen area to ensure the suncatcher will fit. Ideally, the decoration should not be too large or too little for the space and should blend well with the surroundings.

3. Pick the fitting color palette: Analyze all the colors that are present in the surroundings. Estimate how well different colored stained glasses will fit in. You can try an online palette picker to select the most optimal ones.

4. Consider additional preferences: Would you like the space to associate with the wisdom of an owl? Or with romantic doves? Make sure the bird portrayed on the suncatcher feels right for you.

5. Pick the suncatcher: With these details in mind, select the stained glass suncatcher that best matches your vision.

How to take care of stained glass pieces?

To keep your stained glass birds looking beautiful, proper care is essential. Frequent dusting will maintain their immaculate appearance, and distilled water can be used for a more thorough cleaning. Instead of spraying the water straight onto the glass, lightly mist it over a lint-free towel, then gently brush away any dirt. Steer clear of chemicals that could harm the handcrafted finish, and keep the piece away from places like kitchens where dirt or grease tends to collect. Your stained glass will keep shining with brilliant colors for many years to come if you follow these procedures.
