Aloe vera stained glass hand painted recycled glass green plant. These succulents are all different, make gorgeous desk accessories or window sun catchers. Lovely gift idea in the holiday season. This mini cactus can be original coworker gift, especially for those who can`t keep the real one alive.
- I’m always looking for old green glass to recycle but due to the many orders I sometimes run out of it. If there’s no more old glass available at the moment you order your item will be made out of new glass -
This specific one is +/- 9,5 cm / 3.5 inch high and 3.45 inch wide.
Recently I changed the design a bit for more stability.

I have been collecting glass from old doors, windows, cabinets etc. for years and now I found it time to re-use this old glass in some new decorative pieces. The first of my up-cycled collection is a series of cacti and sempervivum (succulents) inspired by my trip to the US and Mexico with my family last summer.
The shade of the glass might differ from the one in the picture. Since I only use recycled glass I can only make a limited number of plants using the same glass . So when I run out of one shade I pick another.
The thorns and nerves are painted by hand on the glass and fired in a special glass kiln at 630°c/ 1166°F.
The way I paint my glass is the same technique used for church windows for centuries. I learned this technique during my master studies in conservation and restoration of stained glass.
