Summer Sunshine Stained Glass Suncatcher - Art Deco Drops

Summer Sunshine is part of my Seasons Drops Collection, a series of handcrafted stained glass suncatchers inspired by the changing character of the year. Each Drop features a distinctive teardrop silhouette with an Art Deco-inspired fan design.

Inspired by the bright, hazy days of summer, this piece captures the feeling of a hot afternoon when the sun glows almost white overhead and the sky seems washed in light. The lower portion of the Drop moves from a warm, glowing orange at the center into deeper red-orange tones along the edges, reflecting the intensity of summer heat. Above it, pale yellow and soft cathedral blue glass transition into deeper blues at the edges, creating the impression of a wide summer sky interrupted by a wispy streak of cloud.

Summer Sunshine is created from 12 individually hand-cut and finished pieces of stained glass. Each piece is selected for its color, texture, and ability to transform as sunlight passes through it. The layered colors and Art Deco-inspired structure create a small-scale artwork that changes throughout the day as the light shifts.

Only 10 Summer Sunshine Drops will be created. Each one is handcrafted in my central Indiana studio using traditional stained glass techniques and finished with careful attention to detail. Because every piece of glass has its own natural variations, each Drop will have its own unique character.
