Slight color variation is normal and part of the handmade process.
During the first wash or two, a small amount of excess dye may rinse out. Washing with similar colors is recommended.

✨ Handmade with care by Element & Thread.
This flower is made of borosilicate glass and features glitter like dichroic glass that will never fade or flake. It comes with a handmade jade white glass vase and decorative rocks for positioning.
This lovely flower was lampworked by hand in Kentucky by myself - Kress Glass and the vase by my partner Clydedyes Glass. Sizing, colors, and weight vary slightly due to natural creation.
Rest your arms on this most comfortable tufted rug during your next digital journey. Keyboard rugs provide a comfortable lift that I find helps keep your wrists in a better position when typing for extended periods. The design is fun too. Non-slip backing with Clyde’s unique tie dye appearance.
