Tis the season for suncatchers.

I have some leaded suncatchers for sale which make ideal gifts. The idea is to hang by string or a chain behind a window but some people use as stand alone ornaments in picture frames or as wall art. Prices start from £24 each including UK delivery but cost effective to buy several. For more information please go to: https://leadedstainedglass.com/suncatchers/

The 1000th!!!

Today I am celebrating my 1000th listing!

R1000. For more info please click here.

But since I started dealing nearly ten years ago I have sold a lot more than 1000. Typically my salvaged items come in subsets. For instance a typical British 1920s three bed semi-detached house had two big bay windows at the front containing at least seven sashes, more at the back, the side landing and the surrounding door set. These are rarely removed at the same time. Therefore I reckon I have saved and distributed at least five thousand worldwide.

From when I started this website about five years ago here follows an archive of what I have saved – some would have gone in landfill. Most of the following designs I can have remade using my copy service if you reference the code:

The Ulrike Suncatcher

Here is a small leaded light I had made for Ulrike and sent to her in Germany:

The design was entirely Ulrike’s idea. I could have another made or the following photos I hope demonstrate how easy it is to express what you want.

Ulrike was inspired by this Edwardian cut glass glory star which she found on my website:

S973 (1)
She sent me this collage to represent the pattern she wanted but a pencil drawing is fine:

This enabled me to provide a price in her requested size of 350 x 300mm (mm to inches converter). Once she paid a 50% deposit I sent the star piece to my supplier who provided me with the following technical drawing which in turn I sent to Ulrike for her approval:

Ulrike template
Ulrike chose the colours she wanted by referencing stock photos from my website. She wanted hooks soldered to the top for use as a suncatcher but these can always be snapped off if she later decides to use as a window panel.

The final destination:

Ulrike found the star on my glory stars page. What could you design?
