I use reclaimed shipping materials whenever possible! Currently, about 80% of my shipping supplies are reclaimed! This is not only good for the environment- but helps to keep my packaging cost low!

Stained Glass Questions
Why does stained glass contain lead? Is it dangerous?
Why does stained glass contain lead? Is it dangerous?
Stained glass suncatchers are made using a technique called "copper foil stained glass". This technique uses solder that contains part lead (I use 60/40 solder) to join the glass pieces together.
I recommend washing your hands after handling and keep of reach of children and pets.
How do you ensure that glass won't break during shipping?
How do you ensure that glass won't break during shipping?
I put a lot of love, time, and materials into making each piece- so it is very important to me that they arrive to you safe! I ship all my fragile items using the "box within a box" method. Each suncatcher is tightly packed to ensure it cannot break during transit. I ship using 2-day priority mail to reduce the time it is in transit.
How do I care for my stained glass piece?
How do I care for my stained glass piece?
Stained glass requires minimal care. If you need to clean your suncatcher- you can use a small amount of non-ammonia glass cleaner Do NOT use other cleaners- as it can damage the solder lines.
I recommend using non-ammonia Windex and then wiping the piece down with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol. The alcohol will neutralize the Windex so it doesn't damage the solder lines.
How should I hang up my suncatcher?
How should I hang up my suncatcher?
Do NOT use suction cups for suncatchers. Temperature and moisture changes can cause the suction cups to fail. I recommend using a screw-in hook on the base of your window pane.
