This pretty little sunflower is handmade lampwork glass on stainless steel rods, add a few more flowers to any garden or house plant pot. Would make a great gift for any garden or plant enthusiast! Perfect for decorating your garden or house plant pots.
My lampwork artisan glass items are handmade by myself, Darrelle in my cosy little studio in South Devon, UK. Each one is made individually and shaped by hand so each one can be a little different.
Approximate Size: The sunflower is around 3cm by 3cm(Size and shape can vary slightly). Comes on a 15-16cm long stainless steel rod.
Quantity: 1 Sunflower plant stake
How it's made:
The glass is melted until molten using a 1700° flame from a dual fuel torch. When the glass is hot and melted it acts like honey, the hotter it is the more it moves and drips. So, when the glass is acting like set honey, I can start wrapping it around stainless-steel rod and then its formed using both gravity and tools. Once it is complete it’s put into a kiln for several hours to bake then cooled down slowly, this is how the glass is hardened to make it durable.
