The Green Man is found throughout history and believed to symbolise the cycle of life, death and re-birth. He heralds Spring after a long winter and the renewal of lush vegetation, so the ideal artwork for hanging in the garden. His common features are a face surrounded by foliage, so I have used a varity of shades and textures of green glass to create my interpretation.
I hand craft all of my glass mosaics using frost proof materials, making each one a unique piece of art that can be enjoyed in the garden all year round.
Colour Palette: Green
Design: Green Man Circle
Size : 25cm diameter
Light will reflect from the mirrored and iridescent glass pieces at the front and through the translucent glass from the back, giving you stunning colours throughout the day and across the seasons, as the light changes.
I hand cut a mixture of flat and patterned high quality sheet glass, as well as using glass nuggets, to give the piece a variety of interesting textures and maximise the light reflection.
Your glass mosaic comes with a small s-shaped metal hook ready to hang in your garden.
Items are made to order, so please check lead time at the top of the shop page. Please note because each piece is uniquely handcrafted, they may differ slightly from the photo. A photo of the actual piece made for you will be sent for approval before posting.
Green Man: Glass Hanging Garden Mosaic Suncatcher
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.
UK postage for this item will be free. I use Royal Mail 2nd class delivery. Collection from Swindon, Wiltshire also available.
