Blood Vial Suncatcher B

$65

Handmade stained glass suncatcher with glass bead accents

This piece contains lead solder

Lead is not harmful unless ingested. Out of an abundance of caution, I like to warn people to keep this art out of reach of pets and children. Only clean with soft or microfiber cloths, and always wash your hands after handling. Probably don’t use it as a charcuterie board, but I’m not your keeper.

Size: 8.75” L x 3.25” W
Comes with black metal hanging chain.
The beads are strung onto thin wire and soldered directly into the piece. They will hold up as a decorative element, but take care when handling or cleaning the piece! Moving the wire too much could cause it to break.

Textured and smooth red, green-brown and clear glass. Glass blob endpoints. Vintage Czech glass beads on wire.

These beautiful blood red swirls in clear glass immediately made me think of macro photos of ink dropped in water. I was inspired by the shape of Victorian “tear vials” (which is a myth- they were actually just scent vials, TBH) and the Bloodborne ‘blood vials’, of course. The vampy, gothic vibe just created itself, really. Not to mention the unreal glow of the reds in the sun. Hang it in your parlor, unsettle your guests. Profit?
