A suncatcher or light catcher is a small, reflective glass or nacre piece that is hung indoors at windows to "catch the light" from a nearby source.
[edit] History
The Southwestern American Indians first began making suncatchers and they are now still popular in that region.
[edit] Manufacture
Suncatchers may be mass-manufactured, or created by hand, and can be of varying simplicity of design from an arts and crafts project to a professionally handmade glass sculpture.
Some designs are simple and abstract with perhaps some mobile-like chained elements, while more complex designs often evoke plants or animals.
[edit] Equivalence
A suncatcher is like the optical equivalent of a wind chime; many designs combine the two ornaments.
