What is a bevel?
A bevel starts off as a sheet of 5mm thick clear plate glass. The plate glass is cut to the shape of the individual pieces in each design. Next, the edges are ground down at an angle. The grinding of curved pieces is not done by machine but by skilled craftsman using masterful hand and eye coordination. The pieces are then highly polished. Next each bevel is then wrapped in copper foil and soldered together according to the pattern. The end result is a spectacular beveled panel that reflects and refracts the light that passes through it. Bevels are so prismatic that you may have a room full of rainbows!

Hanging your stained glass quilt:
Cup hooks are an easy way to suspend your pieces in most windows. They can be screwed into the wooden molding at the top of the window frame. They are usually available in white or brass but can be painted to match the window frame.
If you prefer to display your beautiful glass art on a wide window sill, shelf, table or bookcase, be sure to take a look at the sturdy black metal stands in our store. These stands allow you to enjoy your suncatchers anywhere sunlight shines into your home or office.
