This unique stained glass butterfly magnet is made of Uroboros Ring Mottle glass. The body consists of wrapped colored wire and accented with glass beads. This is the first one I've made in this style. I'd love to hear what you folks think.. maybe I'll make more??

Ring Mottle Opalescent Sheet Glass History

Originally discovered by the Tiffany Studios in the early 20th century, Ring Mottles are a special effect of localized, heat-treated opacification and crystal-growth dynamics. Louis Comfort Tiffany was searching for glass containing realistic natural effects to express his representational imagery with minimal use of painting.
After the closure of the Tiffany Furnaces in Corona, New York in 1931, Ring Mottles were thought to be lost to the stained glass industry. In the mid '70s, Uroboros' founder Eric Lovell successfully reproduced them and brought them back into the stained glass marketplace
