Description
Instant Garden –
Gardening season is not nearly long enough, but our little windowsill garden will stay in bloom all year and does not require any weeding! A win-win!! Place it on your windowsill and enjoy your year-round blooms.
The Windowsill Garden can also be used as a candle lens – place it in front of a candle and the flame will illuminate the flower garden.
This is a great gift for people who say they don’t need anything because everyone needs another reason to smile. 🙂
These are handmade, which means the flowers and petals are different in each garden.
When you order, please include a note indicating the color you want – red, orange, pink, blue or purple. It is approximately 7″ long and 4″ high.
Innovative Glass and Home
… your source for innovative, stained glass valances and fused glass ornaments, dishware, and decorative products for your home!
Polly & Dan have been working with glass since 2005 and have a studio in their home in Scarborough, Maine. They both do traditional stained glass work, but Polly’s real passion is fusing glass.
The Art of Fusing Glass:
The process begins with fusible stained glass. Elements of the design are cut by hand from the various colors of glass, cleaned, assembled, and placed in a kiln. The intense heat fuses the individual pieces of glass into one. The size and thickness of the glass dictates how long it needs to stay in the kiln, but a typical firing takes approximately 18 hours.
Creating a dish from the fused piece of glass is achieved by returning it to the kiln a second time, at a lower temperature, on a ceramic or stainless steel mold. The glass slumps into the mold, taking on its shape, as the temperature in the kiln rises. That process is glass slumping.
