I can make this for you on commission for $450.
I designed and made this for Monica so she could sit in her living room chair and look out at the birds in the birch tree.
This was a fun project because rather than being just a straight flat panel, I made it into a trio of panels with the birch tree being the connecting element.
At 468 pieces in total, this was an ambitious project and took me further into small glass technique. I loved making it.
