 Magical Light-Catchers

light Catchers are usually created especially for the recipients.  They are made with semi-precious gemstones, a variety of decorative beads, crystals and charms.  Catchers are 45 – 75 cm long and have one, two or three strands – each ending with an AAA crystal ball or pear. Up to ten charms are added especially for the recipient.  Sometimes I make one just for the fun of it and this may find its way into the shop for sale as is.

I take commissions for light catchers, just message me to open a discussion.  Points to consider when ordering are the colour or colours you want and a little about the person the catcher is intended for.  Lifestyle, interests, hobbies, temperament, health issues, challenges etc.are all points that can be considered when weaving the magic of each light catcher.

 

Incredibly difficult to capture in a photograph!  Follow these links to find out more
