Stained Glass "Plant-chette" Stake, Orange/Green
This beautiful “Plant-chette” copper-foiled stained glass plant-stake was handmade by Tamara Goldsmith in her Portland, OR studio for Redux Collective. This mini version of her larger Planchette Suncatchers are the perfect size for gift-giving and come in a wide array of colors. The cabochon circle gem is iridescent and offers some rich color to any plant collection. Soldered to a 6” brass rod, these ingenious plant stakes are meant to slide into the soil of any potted houseplant … to add some visual flair to ones decor. The solder lines and lead came frame on this piece have been given a black patina, and are waxed for a protective, shiny surface. 
Measures about 8” long, 3” wide.
60/40 lead/tin solder was used and the border is lead came. Lead is not dangerous to have in your home in an art-piece like this unless sanded or causing lead-dust to be airborne and inhaled or somehow ingested. However, it is always a good idea to wash your hands well after cleaning or handling the piece.
