MAPLE LEAF glass pendant custom lampworked for you in green, yellow, amber, purple or red

Description

This is a new design for me that I'm super-excited about, and what better day to release it than Canada Day?

Of course it doesn't have to be July 1st and you don't even have to be Canadian to enjoy this beautiful leaf. The maple is a truly stunning tree - strong and shady in summer, bright and vibrant in autumn, elegant and stately in winter, and of course, gushing with sweet sap in spring!
I have fond memories of growing up in Western Quebec surrounded by birch, maple, pine, spruce, and eastern cedar. My mother taught me to lick ice off maple tree bark in March. It's delicious!

I made this leaf myself on my lampworking torch in my Winnipeg studio after some trial and error. The one pictured is a blend of transparent spring green and electric yellow, with some mixed green opaque frit.

When you order this leaf, please specify your own colour combination - dark or light green, pale or dark amber, red, purple, orange, yellow - in transparent or opaque colours! I can mix two colours together as well - though bear in mind that green and red will be blackish brown where they overlap. You can also choose your colour of frit, or none. I can even add raised clear frit for a frosted look!

Sizes and exact shaping will vary somewhat as I am custom shaping each leaf by hand from a molten glob of glass. No presses are used, so your leaf will be as unique as a real leaf... but more conveniently designed for wearing on your neck or hanging in a window. The loop hole is about 3mm wide and will accommodate almost any chain or cord.

Please allow 1 week before shipping and 2-3 weeks for shipping to the US.

Thanks for looking at my glass art! And Happy Canada Day, fellow canucks!
