Thank you so much for purchasing my handmade art. I hope you love this piece of stained glass forever and ever. This piece has been designed by me or my husband Bryan, hand cut, ground, foiled using the Louis Comfort Tiffany method, and soldered and finished by me. Each piece can be used indoors or outdoors. All metal will oxidize over time and the tin/lead alloy that I use for solder will eventually oxidize with a white powder. The wax and polish I use to finish each piece helps to slow down this natural process, but I'll give instructions below to care for your piece over time.
Glass Care Instructions
Secure your stained glass piece securely on a wall hook or window frame. We suggest 3M hooks with command strips over suction cups because fluctuating weather causes suction cups to fail and your glass may fall and become damaged.
Over time, all metal oxidizes. This natural oxidation may leave a white powdery substance or tarnish. Gently wipe with a non abrasive cloth, warm water and dish soap. You can polish your piece with a soft cloth and any carnauba based wax or Pledge wax spray. Using products with ammonia will cause damage to your piece, please avoid using Windex.
Please be mindful when handling your glass art as it is delicate and deserves your love.
