WONKY CHARACTERS
HANDMADE GLASS ANIMAL AND CHARACTER ORNAMENTS FROM MOLTEN WONKY
FUN is the keyword for all of our fused glass animals, glass creatures, and cheerful characters. To bring some quirkiness to your space, we’ve made sure that each piece is full of colour, charm, and just the right amount of wonkiness.
Whether you choose our bright and bold blue butterfly or our cheery glass sunshine hanging ornament, our glass animals ornaments and characters can be hung in windows, displayed on shelves, or gifted to those who need a craft-inspired pick-me-up.
how we make our fused glass characters
All of our glass animal figures and characters begin their lives in our marvellous glass fusing studio in Essex. Katie hand-cuts each individual base shape from clear glass before building the design with colourful glass pieces.
We use a mixture of glass fragments, stringers, and frits to give each character or animal its own distinctive look. Some designs even include additional details, like glitter glass, wire accents, and shimmering dichroic glass. Just take a look at the delicate wire details of our glass sheep decoration, or the shimmering pink dichroic glass horn and mane of our glass unicorn ornament.
Once assembled, each piece is fired in the kiln at a piping hot temperature. This is where the layers fuse together into one. Every design is handmade here at molten wonky, so no two glass characters are ever exactly the same. And that’s part of their unique charm!
where to display your glass creatures, animals, and characters
Our glass animal ornaments and whimsical characters will look lovely anywhere you place them, but we highly recommend positioning them somewhere where they can catch the light.
Some of our favourite display ideas include…
- Hanging them in a sunny window
- Placing them on decorative twigs or branches
- Popping them on a shelf or mantelpiece
- Using them as colourful decorative accents in children’s bedrooms, playrooms, or offices
- Gifting them for loved ones
As you can see, our fused glass creations can be gifted, displayed, and marvelled at in each and every season.
