A simple star

After the complications of constructing the last suspended sculpture I decided to do something nice and simple.

A traditional star using bevels. Just foil the pieces and pin them down on the board for soldering . . .

Rather than apply a patina the solder has been left silver, polished with finishing compound to delay tarnishing. Occasional applications of wax polish will keep the shine.

Even in a simple two dimensional piece beveled glass can provide pleasing shapes and throw an array of highlights, making a delightful suncatcher.
