Flower Stem - Leaves

Delicate but effective, these flower stems look pretty on their own and are even more attractive when grouped together.  You could buy multiples of the same design or mix and match to create a beautiful set of flowers that will live forever.
 
Made using the Tiffany foiling technique which allows for more intricate and complex patterns and involves cutting each individual piece of glass and wrapping with a copper tape rather than using thick lead.  The pattern is then pieced together and solder is applied to the tape to form a strong bond, followed by an oxidising agent to turn it that lovely dark pewter colour.  It is the same traditional method used by Louis Comfort Tiffany back in the late 1800's to make their beautiful lamps. 
 
Total length of flower is between 32.5-33.5cm.  The leaves measure approximately 2cm x 3cm x 3mm.
