Suncatcher - High-Altitude Happy Hour

There is nothing quite like a happy hour view framed by nature. Designed from a personal photograph, this custom suncatcher captures a perfect, fleeting summer moment: a refreshing citron martini resting on a deck, looking out over towering pines and a majestic mountain range.
To bring this landscape to life, the piece balances intricate structural design with fine glasswork techniques. Glass powders and frits were meticulously layered by hand to replicate the organic textures of the wooden deck and the dense mountain forest. The true centerpiece is the martini glass itself—vibrant, translucent, and finished with a hand-shaped yellow lemon twist. Layered specifically to interact with natural light, this dimensional keepsake beautifully illuminates when hung in a bright window.
