One-of-a-Kind Handcrafted Suncatchers

My work began in a small-town thrift store that supports a local animal rescue. Surrounded by donated items others had discarded, I started seeing possibilities in what many consider trash, inspiring my journey into Eco-Friendly Trash-to-Treasure Art. 

Using repurposed and reclaimed materials like discarded picture frames and salvaged beads — along with a lot of trial and error (plus a few scratches from stubborn chicken wire) — I began creating handcrafted suncatchers. These one-of-a-kind art pieces bring light back into forgotten treasures. 

When the sun hits the beads, they glow warmly like stained glass, scattering sparkles across the room — a simple reminder that broken things can be beautifully transformed. 

Each piece I create is uniquely handcrafted and never mass-produced, deeply rooted in the idea of second chances — for materials, for animals, and for the homes that welcome my lovingly crafted framed suncatchers.
