Description

The Bending of Light

Refraction is the bending of a light ray as it passes at an angle from one transparent medium to another.  As a beam of light enters glass at an angle, it is refracted or bent. The part of the light beam that strikes the glass is slowed down, causing the entire beam to bend. The more sharply the beam bends, the more it is slowed down.

This incredible piece is laser honed. As it hangs and move, it will paint your garden with light!

Use them as the  weight for your suncatcher.  Personalise them by adding your own piece of wonderful

• Crystal glass, 9mm thick
• 30mm Diameter,
• faceted edge
• iridised finish

To build your Suncatcher:

• First, select an acrylic shape (they are available here🙂  These  are made of 4.5mm clear acrylic (also known as Perspex). You can choose to have a top hole, a bottom hole, or both. You can use some of your own stash to decorate them, or use stained glass or beads – the choice is yours!
• Use our Suncatcher wire, thread on some Tail beads, and add a tail weight (this Chroma piece is a beautiful choice)
• Squeeze the beads onto your selected wire with a pair of crimping pliers, available here
• use these Crimp beads to make the hanging loops, and secure the beads
• Attach a swivel & hook – I have a few different choices:
  • an “S” Hook and a Hanger Swivel or
  • a Combination Hook & Swivel
• Voila!
