{"product_id":"fire-elemental-drop-stained-glass-suncatcher","title":"Fire Elemental Drop Stained Glass Suncatcher - Limited Edition with Heirloom Glass","description":"\u003cp\u003eFire was one of the original designs in my Elemental Drops Collection, a series of geometric stained glass suncatchers inspired by the colors, textures, and qualities associated with the four elements: Earth, Air, Fire, and Water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design centered around a vintage piece of glass from my Grandpa Thomas’s collection. He practiced stained glass craft, and I grew up surrounded by his work. The studio name honors that connection, and many of my early designs were inspired by the glass and craftsmanship I grew up around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fire Element featured vibrant red and orange glass inspired by the warmth, energy, and movement of flame. The geometric composition reflects the balanced lines and thoughtful design principles often found in Mission and Arts \u0026amp; Crafts Movement styles, while the handmade glass brought depth and variation to the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Elemental Drop was created from six individually cut pieces of glass arranged around the vintage center diamond. The surrounding sections created a progression of color and light, allowing the texture and character of each piece of glass to shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Fire Drop also included Kokomo Opalescent Glass from limited-run colors and special production batches, adding unique variations in color and texture that made each piece distinctive. Because these materials cannot be replaced, the original Elemental Drop designs will not be recreated once the remaining pieces are gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally launched through my first Kickstarter campaign, the Elemental Drops Collection helped provide the foundation for Thomas Critchlow Art Glass. These pieces remain a connection between the beginning of the studio and the work I continue creating today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Elemental Drops Collection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFire Element from the original Elemental Drops Collection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandmade geometric stained glass suncatcher\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApproximately 4\" × 6\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures vintage glass from my Grandpa Thomas’s collection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade with Kokomo Opalescent Glass, including limited-run colors and special production batches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopper foil construction with lead came edging\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandmade in Indiana, USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Elemental Drops Collection was originally created as a set of four designs: Earth, Air, Fire, and Water.
