Design: Featuring a majestic orca crafted from black and white opaque stained glass, this piece reflects the beauty of these incredible marine animals. It can be used as a suncatcher to add a touch of elegance to your windows or as a charming addition to your ocean-themed décor.
Craftsmanship: Made using a modified Tiffany-style stained glass technique, this orca is created with specialty stained glass, copper foil, solder, tinned copper wire, and lead.

The orca is soldered together, cleaned, polished, and sometimes enhanced with patina for a refined finish.
