Fused Glass Butterfly

This beautiful hand-crafted fused Glass Butterfly makes a beautiful ornament or gift. The Rainbow design has a textured raised contour to the fused glass surface makes it a very tactile piece that you’ll want to touch!

The butterflies are handmade so it will not be identical to the images shown but will be made just for you! As a result, slight variation from the image shown should be expected.

Creative Process

The blue butterfly is created using iridescent blue glass cut to form the butterfly wings and then glass paint has been added to create the pattern.

The rainbow butterfly is made by cutting slices of different coloured patterned murrini that I made in an earlier kiln firing and arranging them on clear glass wings.

A body made from black glass is added and the butterfly is fused in a kiln to firm one piece. On a second firing the butterfly is draped over a mould to shape the wings.

Each firing process can take up to 14 hours to complete and every time the glass is fired it is cooled slowly and annealed for long enough to give it durability and strength.

As these are hand made and draped in the kiln they are not symmetrical but unique one of a kind pieces!
