Description

This piece was inspired by the Albuquerque, NM, balloon fiesta. Hundreds of tiny pieces of glass are handcut, wrapped in copper foil and then soldered together, in the "Tiffany" style. Many of the balloons in the piece are based on actual balloons that are brought from all over the world to participate in this glorious event.

Framed in oak with hooks attached, ready for hanging.

Handmade by master stained glass artisan Beglar Merlich at Merlich Art Glass Studio. No lead came is used--only the copper foil or "Tiffany" style method is utilized to ensure the highest quality that will stand the test of time.

Dimensions: 39" wide by 27" high
