Creating a teardrop shaped stained glass suncatcher with a Sparkling Violetear Hummingbird and rope pattern.
The wings and the backing of the rope are iridescent glass which gives the piece a real dynamic aspect. The wooden frame is an 8layer lamination of African Mahogany and Red Cedar and hung using 1/8" leather cording.
