Custom and personalized orders
Most items are made to order, so I can generally work your special request right into my work schedule. If you need a certain color combination, different color center, etc. simply add it to the personalization field or send me a message and I'll do my best to meet your needs.

I like a shape, but don't see it in the color I want, can you make it?
Most likely, yes! I can most make any color in any shape shown (and more). Be aware, however, that glass is limited to colors the manufactures make; we can't "mix" colors like paint. Just message me with what you would like and I'll see what I can do 😊

Care instructions
Simply gently wash with luke-warm water and a little Dawn and soft brush if needed

Flower size and wire lengths
These are TINY flowers and range in size from 1/4" - 1/2". Most flowers are made with a variety of presses, so they are consistently very similar in size. Due to the press size I can't make them larger. I may occassionally offer larger "free form" items in limited quanties.

The standard wire is 22 gauge stainless steel and can be made in 3, 4, or 5-inch in length. Longer wire will look out of proportion with the small flowerhead and may have issues with my kiln size.

If you need them taller, add sand or a piece of foam to the vase to lift the flowers up and be able to place them in the desired arrangement. You can also attach them to longer/thicker wire or skewers with floral tape. Here's a video link showing how to use in a taller vase: https://www.youtube.com/live/4DMZNKrMELE?si=K

Can I put them outside...will these fade in sunlight?
They will thrive in any condition - inside or out; full sun as well as inside shade! These are made from colored glass - they will NEVER fade. You can put them outside; however, they may not enjoy a summer hailstorm or winter blizzard.

Can I use these for jewelry?
Absolutely, they are beautiful components and make amazing jewelry designs! They have been properly annealed and are very tough - will take a beating (even though they look fragile - they're not! The wire is easy to cut with wire cutters and easily bent to create your own wire wrap bails.

They are made of annealed glass and stainless steel, which has a low allergy level. I do suggest, however, to take care in manipulating the wire next to the glass as that is the fragile point.

Shape options and Assortment
Each listing shows the shapes available in the specific color (some colors just don't work in certain shapes). Reach out if you have any questions about a certain color or shape.

You can order each, sets of 6. When "Assortment" is listed that means you want a variety of shapes; simply list the shapes you want or I will select a nice variety for you. Obviously, you will need to order more than one flower to select an "Assortment".

How do I use these in a taller vase?
I have created a picture tutorial (as a listing) to show images of how to create a bouquet; I also have a video on YouTube "Stained Glass and Beads" or copy and paste this video link: https://youtu.be/4DMZNKrMELE

These look fragile! Do they break easy?
These little beauties are TOUGH! They look dainty, but they are not!

These go right from the torch into a digitally controlled kiln for proper annealing. Although they look fragile and dainty - THEY ARE TOUGH! You can literally hammer them against a table and (should) not break. I drop them on concrete without problems (usually). They are hardened glass, but, yes, they are still glass, so I recommend treating them as a glass item.

These aren't what I expected
No problem, no worries! I understand that it may be hard to visualize the size of these as they truely are "tiny, small, miniature". Simply return them for a refund (minus shipping). If you decide to return them, please let me know and include the tracking number so I can keep an eye out for them.
