I've been selling these little angels since Christmas of 1995. I keep it in my production line, even though I've moved from selling only suncatchers at local craft shows, through juried regional fine arts and crafts shows and now have my own retail glass art store and studio in a 'tourist' area outside of Philadelphia. Because it's easy to make, it's quick to make, it's cheap to make, it's can be customized, and its selling price makes it affordable for all age groups and economic situations. This also gives the customer a story they can tell people who come over to their house and admire the little angel in the window. 1890, from a New York church which had a fire.
Green glass is from ca.
Clear glass is 1940s bathroom glass from the West Point Fire Station. For most of my repeat customers, this angel was the first piece of stained glass they purchased. The free pattern - an angel suncatcher. Allow time for it to download. It's a design that is classic - angels never go out of style.
