Family, where life begins and love never ends. A unique gift to celebrate the many special moments in life where family come together and rejoice. And the memories of that special moment will come to mind every time the sun shines and your room is filled with delightful rainbows.
Designed and created in Ireland, Artwood's family inspired suncatchers are a life-long gift made from native Irish hardwoods and high quality Asfour crystals.
The finer details:
Our Family inspired suncatchers come in a selection of Medium and Large size moons. They also come in a choice of Beech or Oak wood and with our speciality crystal designs.
The Medium wooden moon is approximately 5" (120mm) long at its longest part.
The Medium Suncatcher comes with a choice of crystals, namely:
• Angel: a 0.8" (20mm) ∅ Sphere Asfour crystal with 4 Asfour octagons as wings, a 0.4"(10mm)∅ Asfour crystal head and a Preciosa crystal crown (all fairies need crystal crowns), or
• Sphere: a 1.2" (30mm) ∅ Sphere Asfour crystal (round ball shape), or
• Sun: a 1.2" (30mm)∅ Sun Asfour crystal (flat disc shape)
The Large wooden moon is approximately 6.5" (165mm) long at its longest part.
The Large Suncatcher comes with a choice of crystals, namely:
• Angel: a 1.2" (30mm) ∅ Sphere Asfour crystal with Tibetan silver wings, a 0.5"(14mm)∅ Asfour crystal head and a Preciosa crystal crown, or
• Sphere: a 1.5" (40mm) ∅ Sphere Asfour crystal (round ball shape), or
• Sun: a 1.75" (45mm)∅ Sun Asfour crystal (flat disc shape)
We protect the wood by using approximately 4-6 coats of Danish Oil. We also use extremely strong, high quality braided thread to hang our suncatchers. Moreover, this string does not degrade in sunlight and therefore is ideal for hanging in a sunny window.
The string measures approx 11" (280)mm from the top of the moon to the metal hoop which is used for hanging.
Please be aware that we have designed our suncatchers for indoor use and have not tested them outdoors.

In Irish Folklore, wood has undeniably a strong relationship with the Irish people. They believed the trees to be sacred and magical. In addition, each tree has its own inherent properties.
BEECH has long been associated with ancient knowledge. It is said to act as a “guidance from the past” and can help to gain insight. In the home, it is good for healing, meditation and protection.
OAK is the sacred tree of the druids and ancient Celts. It is the tree of strength, endurance, prosperity and triumph. It bestows stamina, vitality and fertility.
