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.
