Specify desired colors or color palette (all in fall colors, for example) or receive a random selection.
Each leaf is just a little different and unique. See photos for size reference; they average between 3/4" - 1" long on 5 inch stainless steel wire which is easily cut and bent for jewelry yet strong enough for floral display or aquarium settings.
šI 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.

I make these individually on my Minor or Scorpion torch by heating a color glass rod into a ball on the end of 22-gauge stainless steel wire, then press or manipulate it into the desired shape. They go directly into my kiln to properly anneal (cool and hardened into a stable hard glass). Take care manipulating the wire next to the glass. Irregularities occur naturally as with all handmade items, which adds to the beauty and character.
