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.
These incredible pieces are laser honed, lens quality glass prisms. As they hang and move, they will paint your garden with light!
Use them as the tail and weight for your suncatcher. Personalise them by adding your own piece of wonderful, or use the 2 holed variant to string multiples together
- Crystal glass, 150mm Long
- Triangular, laser honed
- 22mm each face
- angled ends
- a choice of top & bottom holes, or top hole only
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
- 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!
