About this Product
Stained Glass Mermaid Sun Catcher
Made to Order in your Choice of Colors
Glass colors may appear different on your device depending on settings!
Stained Glass Mermaid in shades of your color choices, along with complementary accent colors! Her hair floats softly in the water and round glass nuggets mimic the bubbles which appear to be floating up to the surface of the water as she swims, swirls and dances below. Sturdy hanger! This is a mermaid using quality stained glass.
Stained glass does not fade over time. Colors will remain true for the life of the glass (forever!). Think of the cathedral windows in Europe that have been around for 100s of years. This is a handmade mermaid, each one I make is slightly unique in some way.
*******More Details: I made her using the copper foil 'Tiffany' method of construction. In addition, I solder special reinforcing wire mesh between main pieces of glass, so that she will remain sturdy over time. I used a decorative and strong twisted wire that holds some of the 'bubbles', made from glass nuggets, that are each soldered on as well. There is a ball chain soldered on to use as a hanger. I don't recommend using a suction cup as these will eventually come loose from the window. Instead, in my own home or outdoors, we use little eye hooks or cup hangers firmly attached, either under the top frame of a window, or outside under an eave for instance.

Meet the Maker
I've been a Stained Glass Artist for 2 decades now, and I put a lot of love into everything I make!
A little about me:
It all began with a dream...
I'd always loved the way light interacts with stained glass, and dreamed of learning how to make pieces of my own. I had the opportunity to take a class when I was attending Cal State University, Fullerton, where I learned the basics of cutting, grinding, and using lead came to create some simple windows. Working with stained glass was now in my blood and I taught myself the Copper Foil Method of Construction by reading books. Copper foil construction allows me to create a wide range of pieces in both 2 and 3 dimensions. These include hanging sun catchers, business card holders and more for your office, candle holders, vases, hanging mobiles, and much more! While I do have many popular designs that I have sold for many years, I love to create completely unique pieces as well! I've been creating unique stained glass pieces for 2 decades and am thrilled to do custom orders; special color combinations or sizes to suit your needs. I've been approached to create completely new designs or sizes: for instance a large company asked me to created a bigger version of one of my business card holders to accommodate special cards; they ordered 43 of these in 2 color schemes to give as gifts to their employees! Another example: I once made almost 100 Peace signs for a customer who purchased them as special commemorative gifts at a memorial.
Custom orders begin with a need and an idea; together we can communicate to create a color scheme, pattern, size, and design to suit your specific needs.
I'm happy to include as much or as little of your input as you are comfortable with: I've found that some people want to give me some information and have me run with it, while others like to be very involved in all aspects of planning. It helps the process run more quickly if you'd like to browse through my shop and find colors and types of glass that you are drawn to.
My goal is to make pieces that are artistic, useful, very well made items that you are proud to own and display in your home, office or outdoor space! I sell many pieces that I can send directly to a gift recipient: Please include the correct shipping address at checkout and let me know what I can write on a note card. (Example: "Happy birthday Whitney! Love from your brother Nate"). I will have a gift-wrap option available at a nominal charge! I use a gift box to package the items; beautifully gift wrap with a selection of wrapping paper and add a pretty bow to finish it off; this package then goes into a larger, sturdy shipping box surrounded by bubble wrap to ensure safe delivery.
I'm very careful with my packaging, using sturdy boxes and plenty of bubble wrap so your special purchase arrives in the same condition it left my workshop.
How it’s Made
I select glass from my supply of stained glass sheets and cut according to my own pattern.
I will select colors as near as what is shown as possible. Keep in mind that colors may appear different in person than what is on your screen. Also, due to the beauty of stained glass, there are always some variations in patterning between each sheet of glass, making each item unique in some way!
Shop Policies
Welcome and thank you for visiting my shop!
Processing times:
In Stock items ship in as little as 1 or up to a few days. Many of my items are made to order, allowing you to choose your specific color choice or design. I do work on orders by the date received, so that the earliest orders can ship the soonest. Processing times are dependent on the item and the number of items ordered, and how many orders I currently have in my queue: normally it takes me between 2 and 10 days to complete a made-to-order item and get it to the Post Office. This doesn't include the actual time spent in transit. Please feel free to contact me if you have a specific timeline, if it is a gift for instance. I can give you a good idea of when I can complete your order! Like any online seller, I can't promise how long the post office will take to get it to you. However, in the 1000's of packages I've shipped over the years there have only been a handful of real issues with the delivery time.
Cancellations or Returns:
Please save your packaging materials.
I understand that at times you may need to change your mind and I am happy to work it out with you to the best of my ability.
To Cancel, please let me know within the first 24 hours and I can refund in full. Anytime after that, check in to inquire about options: If I haven't purchased material or started cutting the glass, I can happily refund in full. If I Have started, I will refund 50-70% of the total depending on how far along I am with the order. Custom orders however, are final.
Returns: Custom orders and sale items are final; No returns accepted! Anything else please contact me within 7 days for instructions. Give me a brief description of the reason for wanting to return the item. Using the packaging materials used in my shipping to you, please very carefully wrap each piece. If it's a card holder or other 3 dimensional piece, fill the inside with bubble wrap and surround it with more. You want to box to be full but not super tightly packed. It should not move around but should have just a little give. Try to keep the same amount of bubble wrap around each side of the glass (example, and inch above, below, and on the sides). If I receive your purchase back in the same unused condition as it left my shop I will refund minus the shipping costs. Customer is responsible for shipping charges both ways.
I appreciate your business!
