Phalaenopsis Orchids
(Moth Orchids)

Perhaps the best loved house plant of all time, the sublime symmetry of moth orchids were once the reserve of the exceptionally wealthy collector. Nowadays, they are on supermarket shelves and adorn many a windowsill.
They are still one of my favourites too and due to their popularity there are increasingly more varieties and hybrids which make my job all the more delightful!
Here are just a few examples of the magnificent moths . . .

Vanda orchids

The only ‘true blue’ orchid is a Vanda, although there are several varieties of purples and pinks. These beautiful epiphytes trail from trees low in the canopy, safe from strong sunlight they thrive in the steamy conditions of Singapore, India, Malasia and Australia.
My glass homage are somewhat larger than their living counterparts with an average diameter of 30cm.

See bio for more information.

Last four butterflies https://hartglass.com/be

Last four butterflies

https://hartglass.com/bespoke-glass-butterflies-moths/

These four beauties are the last in my Lepidoptera collection.
Every sculpture is unique, with wings created from iridised glasses fused with several glass powder layers. The bodies are pate de verre cast using the lost wax method.
Legs, antennae and proboscis are fashioned from sterling silver, hallmarked and stamped with my maker’s mark.

I shan’t be making any more butterfly sculptures once these have flown to their new homes, so when they’ve gone, they’ve gone!
DM me for further details or visit my website.

Orchis Exotica ‘Cymbidium Black Knight’ Th

Orchis Exotica

‘Cymbidium Black Knight’

This is one of my favourites; its construction is slightly different from all the others to accommodate that bucket-like top petal. And the colour; @bullseyeglass deep plum, is a perfect ‘natural’ black to complement the real flower colour.
The 3D models for these sculptures had to be strong enough to take a hefty plaster pour – some of the larger petals are over a foot in width. The hood petal for the cymbidium has to be perfectly symmetrical and balanced or the glass will slip off the mould during the kiln forming process.
I love the sensual depth of this when lit at night.

Orchis Exotica – Violet

Looking forward to my road trip on Tuesday to install Orchis Exotica - Phalaenopsis ‘Violet’ at the National Glass Centre in Sunderland for the Glass Prize exhibition.

My Orchis Exotica sculptures are homage to the great Charles Darwin’s revelatory theories on the origin of species. He wrote an entire book on the global adaptation of orchids; one of the most varied and successful genera of plants over 100 million years of evolution.
Please let there be enough diesel to get us there and back!!!

Ornithoptera Meridionalis Southern tailed birdwing

Ornithoptera Meridionalis
Southern tailed birdwing

https://hartglass.com/bespoke-glass-butterflies-moths/

Native to the lower rainforest regions of Papua New Guinea, this astonishing butterfly is the smallest of its genus with a wingspan of around 4.5 inches.
Classified by the IUCN Red Data Book as ‘Near threatened’, due to their habitat being stripped away by logging.

Like its rare and endangered counterpart, my delicate homage in glass and sterling silver is not to be repeated. This sculpture is a male specimen, H:8.5cm W:19cm D:17cm and one of only four remaining butterflies from a collection of thirty-two.

Krishna Peacock Butterfly. ‘Papilio krishna kris

Krishna Peacock Butterfly.
‘Papilio krishna krishna’ – Himalayan Krishna Peacock

https://hartglass.com/bespoke-glass-butterflies-moths/

As its name suggests, this beautiful iridescent Swallowtail butterfly is born of India’s Himalayan forests. This exquisite creature has a natural wingspan of between 130 – 140mm. My homage in glass and silver stands at 220mm wingspan.

These critters take several weeks and processes to create; the bodies are pate de verre cast and cold worked. The wings are wafer thin iridescent glasses with as many as a dozen glass powder layers to create detail. The Krishna has a layer of tiny iridescent frit on its lower wings to accentuate the photonic effect of butterfly scales.
The silversmithing comes with the creation of the legs, antennae, proboscis and thorax plate that enables the sculpture to be self-supporting. There is also a silver hook on the underside of the thorax that facilitates displaying in a wall mounted case.
I give the silver a realistic patina and then it goes off to be hallmarked and stamped with my makers mark.
I’ve made thirty-two unique butterfly sculptures and three moths over the last several years. I was absolutely delighted to have had my Spanish Moon Moth selected for the 2016 @glasslifeform exhibition held at the fabulous Corning Glass Museum. Great excuse to go and visit!
I’ve loved studying these magnificent creatures in minute detail; I now appreciate my own garden visitors so much more. But, all good things must come to an end and sadly I will not be making any more. ‘Late Effects’ from the chemo has made much of the extreme close work required for their creation a little taxing, so this Green God of butterflies is one of just four remaining . . .
