Each angel ornament is made with pieces of clear iridized glass for the wings, a 3/4” glass nugget for the head, and a single piece of glass (your choice of color from stock) for the body. Constructed using Tiffany’s foil method, a scalloped foil is used on the body for additional embellishment. Most of the angels remain with polished silver solder, but patina can be applied for a copper or black outline. Decorative solder techniques are used to create the hair and to embellish the wings. 14 gauge pre-tinned copper wire is used for the arms and the bow. There is a bead on one arm for a bracelet. Finally, 16 gauge wire is used to create the halo and to embellish the robe. There is a variety of colored ribbon and string available to choose from for hanging your angel. This particular angel features a viola which is crafted from a single long piece of 14 gauge pre-tinned copper wire.
