Last year at this time, I figured out how to make the paper “pages” into translucent suncatcher/window hangers. I made them and put them in lots of window and shower doors in our home…and I love them…I love gazing out the window and having my eye linger on the image or the words….
I was so amazed that I could create them, that I got a bit enthusiastic and made lots and lots of them….thinking I could give them away to others who might like them. Well….I got a bit “shy” about offering them to others and still have many of them in envelopes….not getting any sunlight at all…a very unfortunate thing.
And so…I thought that there might be others who might enjoy having some of the suncatchers… I have lots and lots…and so to give them away….
Almost all of the images below have posts explaining them….one can just type the words into the search box at the top of the right column to read that post.
Please take a look, and if there might be any that resonate with you,
I’d love to share them and give them away….
I really would be honored if anyone might want one or some…
and would love to think of them sitting in sunny windows
of other places in the country or world…
And a few more….
And still more….
And so….
so many pretty suncatchers….
waiting patiently in envelopes….
waiting to go to someone’s window to be gazed at and reflected upon….
Just a note... it’s really important to me that everything that I create is happily and freely shared with and offered to others… someone asked if I might be willing to sell the suncatchers….well, I can’t sell them for money…but if someone didn’t feel comfortable accepting them for free….I would love to receive a few of people’s favorite quotes, a dried flower, a piece of moss, people offering kindness to others, a smile to a stranger or a kind word, or perhaps an offering, to a homeless/needy person….anything that has generosity in it…
So…well, I don’t know how to “do” the logistics of giving away…isn’t that kind of “funny”…I don’t know how to go about giving something away…..one way might be for me to put my own email in the comments box below… and others are free to email me if they’d like some….and tell me which ones and the preferred size. Another way might be for people to leave a suggestion in the comments section below.
If you would like one….some….or many….please just let me know…tell me which one(s) and what size...there are 3 sizes….some that are about 5 inches wide and others that are about 8 and 1o inches wide. I hang some of them just with scotch tape and others with metal window curtain hangers and suction cups…they’re nice on both windows and glass shower doors…for setting intention in the morning….
And so….
suncatchers looking for new windows…
welcoming homes…
some new eyes and hearts
to take in what they have to say….

I would like one each of the Stillness catcher and the Notice catcher, about the size to fit a “standard” window pane, such as you picture here.

Ohhh….those 2 are soooo pretty. (“stillness” is very ethereal in certain lights…subtle and gentle, with some interesting variations throughout the day…I took that photo at a beautiful little pond in New Hampshire…at the top of a ridge….beautiful little hike up to it…beautiful, beautiful spot…that’s the photo on the header of Reflections from a Friend, too. And I took “notice” from our family room sliding door…the sun just peeking out from behind a beautiful cloud )

I have a kitchen window that catches the western sun as does our bedroom window. I love “I am only one…”, “Stop…I am happy now”, “Today I am truly grateful”. How interesting that different ones speak to different readers. I found in teaching “If you offer it, they will come” so teaching was all consuming as I sought a wide variety of offerings: assignments, field trips, after school activities. It was always interesting that everything was chosen but by different students. I will e-mail you and of course, offer solutions to cover postage, mailer, etc. Thank you. What a lovely RAK.

Isn’t that special that we all have our own ways of learning, doing, giving, receiving…such a variety of styles…what lucky students to have a teacher who understood that and offer the choice.

Hi Becca, Oh, I’m so happy to share…and you asked in the email how to make them…it’s easy…make the image with whatever program you use, intensify the color because it will print less intense than it looks, print on a transparency, and then laminate it. I use 3mm or 5 mm laminator pouches. (I got a very inexpensive laminator at Costco…Purple Cow I think…) and then cut out as an oval or whatever shape you created it in. Easy as that… 🙂 …I was really pleased when I figured that out… kathy
