suncatchers
Hanging light refractors
Suncatchers are decorative objects designed to hang in windows and catch sunlight, often made of colored glass, crystal, or prismatic material.
They scatter rainbow patterns across walls and floors as light passes through: The suncatcher in the kitchen window throws tiny rainbows every morning.
A simple craft project for children or an ornate piece of stained glass art.
