'Butterfly Days' brings the essence of a summer's day into your garden - a vibrant handcrafted glass mosaic garden panel, set within a rustic metal frame (which is pushed into the soil), celebrating the charm and colour of a classic cottage garden. Featuring two striking orange butterflies fluttering above an array of cottage garden blooms
Each flower is meticulously created from individually cut and arranged glass pieces, using a palette of pinks, purples, greens, and whites. The orange butterflies, with their bold wings and delicate detail, add a sense of movement and life to the scene, drawing the eye upward through the floral composition. Behind it all, streaks of blue and mirrored glass suggest a breezy summer sky.
Designed to be enjoyed outdoors and crafted with high-quality frost proof materials, this one-of-a- kind piece is made to add colour, vibrancy, and artistic interest to your garden all year round.
'Butterfly Days' truly comes alive when sunlight filters through it from behind, when the glass glows with radiant colour, transforming your garden into a dynamic and uplifting space. Position it where sunlight can shine through to enjoy a constantly changing display of light, colour, and texture.
Size- 750mm x 300mm plus frame

Butterfly Days- Cottage Garden Mosaic Panel
The glass has been hand cut, the edges smoothed and then silicone glued onto a Perspex base. Once dried, I then grout using exterior grade grout, which really make the colours pop! All the materials I use are frost proof and weather resistant, so your piece is ready to display outside in your garden and can stay out all year round. Just be mindful, that in high winds, it is best placed somewhere sheltered.
As with any item made from glass, please be careful when handling. There may be sharp edges to some of the glass, so please keep out of reach of small children. You can clean the glass, if needed, using water and a little washing up liquid, with a sponge or soft cloth.
