Miniature glass flower headpins using a very unique glass that creates the layers of light and dark glass. Each flower is unique as the glass dictates the final result. They lean more on the gray neutral side vs. yellow which your viewing device might misinterpret. ⭐Flower diameter range from 1/4" - 1/2" diameter depending on shape- see photos for reference.
👉 I make these individually on my torch by heating a color glass rod into a ball between the size of a PEA to peanut M&M on the end of 22-gauge stainless steel wire, then press, squeeze, mush, pinch and pull into the desired shape; they go directly into a temperature-controlled kiln to properly anneal and harden. These are small: they range in size from 1/4" - 1/2" in diameter.
🎁 These are great for jewelry as well as miniature settings, wedding bouquet or window, shelf, curio or desk displays. They make a perfect gift to say: Thank you, I love you, Thinking of you, Sorry for your loss, or simply... Have a great day!
👉 Default wire is 22 gauge stainless steel wire (good for tarnish resistance and low-level allergy reaction). If you need longer wire, one option is to wrap them with floral tape to a longer wire or skewer. Take care manipulating the wire next to the glass.
🏺Vase/display: Time to have some fun "junkin' in search for the perfect display vase. Search for mini vases, candle holder, small liquor flutes, etc. I have a small glass bottle that works perfect for 3" height. Fill with sand, paint, decorate with ribbon, etc.

👉 As with any hand crafted items, irregularities occur naturally as each batch of glass rods vary, as well as each flower which adds to the beauty and character.
😊 I do my best to represent the true size and colors. I photograph them in daylight or on my studio workbench with LED lights mounted on my ceiling and use my Samsung tablet. I do not manipulate the photo except to crop or reduce the size. So far, the photos seem very true to the product colors, but may vary depending on your device. 😊
