Written by Candice Pardue Decorating with SuncatchersThe original stained glass found in buildings like this, is quite different from the materials that suncatchers are made out of today. However, there are still some old-world artisans who follow the traditional methods of making stained glass windows, so we are still able to see the end product of the acid-etching, silver staining, painting and firing, as well as the leading of glass that goes into each one of their masterpieces. What we see in decorative accessories such as suncatchers, is generally the result of techniques developed in the late 1800s by Louis Comfort Tiffany, of the famed Tiffany lamp, which featured stained glass panels in its shade. His copper foiling, followed by new painting techniques, created “stained” glassware for more common use. One of the most delightful items to be made with colored glass sections, are suncatchers that can bring a lift to any room as light filters through the brightly colored sections that can be any kind of image from scenery, to flowers, birds, romantic themes and exotic, mystical creatures. Small suncatchers add an extra touch to a ceiling light/fan or chandelier, with light shining through them day or night. They can also be found mounted on small stakes or spikes, for inserting in the pots of greenery that you have on a windowsill. Put a splash of color amongst your ferns, or in the pots of hanging ivy! Most people prefer to hang this charming decorative accessory in a window, so they get the full benefit of sunlight coming though the sections of glass. You might choose to put one large sun catcher in the bow window of a living room, and then hang smaller ones with complementary subjects in the other windows. For example, a large work with a woodland scene, birds, and animals, can be accompanied by smaller individual suncatchers featuring some of the elements of the main panel. They’re handy for seasonal décor as well, and will really add some refreshing color to an outdoor world that’s losing its own, with brilliant scenes of Christmas, or beautifully colored Fall subjects to celebrate Thanksgiving. Suncatchers are great for picking up decorating themes as well, from a rooster flaunting his feathers in the kitchen window, to a delicate oval of lilies brightening up the bathroom window. And when you’ve let color shine throughout your own home, remember family and friends on gift giving occasions, with a sun catcher featuring a favorite artist or theme! | ||||||||
