This blue stained glass whale is the perfect addition to your home decor collection! It can be hung on a wall, in a window, or wherever else you feel your home needs a touch of ocean. This bright blue whale is enough of a statement piece to live on its own for a minimalist look, but would do just as well amidst your other wall art or window decor. However you choose to display it, this whale is sure to remind you of the ocean every time you see it, and hopefully bring a sense of calm to your home.
HOW IT'S MADE
----------------------
This peaceful blue whale is made with dark blue and light blue transluscent glass, which when held up to the light will let a decent amount of light through. Since the glass is transluscent and also colored, the light shining through the glass will cast a colored shadow on the surface behind it, so in this case you'll see shadows in varying shades of blue. The individual pieces of glass are prepped to be attached using the copper foil method, and are then secured to each other by soldering the seams between the pieces of glass. Once soldered, the whole piece is cleaned and polished with wax to protect the glass and solder from the elements, and to keep it looking nicer for longer.
Included with this stained glass whale is a 3mm, silver, stainless steel, curb chain attached to two jump rings along the top of the whale's body. This makes it a breeze to hang in your home once it arrives. The entire piece weighs approximately 11oz, so you won't need any special hardware to hang it from; a simple adhesive wall-mounted hook or a strong suction cup on your window should suffice.
