These outlet is one of a kind, signed by me, Rachael Revelle and, as with all my work, made with love and an intent to bring healing and hope. It is perfect for indoor windows and also for the garden. Many of my customers hang my work from trees and they catch the light beautifully casting coloured shapes across walls and fencing.

I made the item using coloured glass which I cut and paint with a black enamel and then scratch a design into it. The glass is then fired in a kiln at 650 degrees celcius which make the artwork permanent and weatherproof. The glass is then copperfoiled and soldered. I like to use my own knobbly technique with the solder to give a rustic, aged look. A black patina is applied and scrubbed to make the lead/solder an antique gunmetal colour. This gives each piece its unique textural character. Copper wire is twisted and added to hang things from.The glass is cleaned and then a natural jute string is added and decorated with a glass bead. Even the beads are unique..no two the same.

It's a long process but I enjoy every aspect of working with glass. The glass has an ethereal quality when held up to the light and always inspires me pleasure when I see the colours dancing and bringing the images to life.
