Prism SunCatchers Handmade with 25 Chandelier Crystals

Spectacular Rainbow Makers, Resin Art
"There's Rainbows Everywhere" I took the long way around to get here, but I'm here! My SunRain rainbow maker design comes from prism geometry: the prisms are close to a 15° wedge, so a 360° circle holds 24 lead crystal chandelier prisms, forming a sunburst. The rainbows from this radial design are stunning. When I first hung SunRain in a south window, bright rainbows scattered across the room—walls, ceiling, even a wall 25 feet away had one-foot bands of intense color from deep violet to red. It felt like the sun was raining pure color into our home.
For three years I’ve built lighthouses, waves, slab resin paintings, lamps, pentagon bowls, and 20‑sided resin balls; all of that led to SunRain. It’s a clear, faceted crystal sunburst ornament for a sunny window or a special gift. The Egyptian lead crystal prisms are 2" long and optically superb. The circular center is 6" across, weighs about 25 ounces, and the resin core is roughly 1/2" thick; with the slight prism lift, the piece is about 1" deep. A delicate gold‑colored chain attaches to the center and one prism end via jump ring, with a lanyard clip on the other end so you can loop it over a curtain rod or hang it from a tiny nail in the window frame.
SunRain rainbow makers turn ordinary sunlight into a room full of color. In my granddaughter’s bedroom, three SunRains fill the walls, floor, and hallway with dancing rainbows—she says, “There’s rainbows everywhere!” Each piece uses Egyptian 30% lead glass prisms by Asfour Crystals, which split white light into vivid bands of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet instead of the soft blur you get from plastic “crystals.” One SunRain holds 25 chandelier prisms in a daisy‑style ring; each 2" prism has 16 facets, so hundreds of tiny light generators create color much larger than the ornament itself.
When the sun hits a SunRain suncatcher in an east, south, or west window, pinpoints of sunlight fan out into moving spectra that reach across floors, walls, ceilings, and sometimes into the next room—it’s like confetti made of light with no cleanup. I designed SunRain to look delicate but be durable: epoxy resin and tiny nails lock each prism in place so it tolerates light bumps and drafts. Hanging is easy: each piece includes a 2' gold-colored chain, lanyard clip, and small nails so you can use an existing hook, curtain rod, plant hanger, or the top of the window frame.
SunRain rainbow makers arrive ready to gift in an attractive black bag, packed securely so the prisms travel safely. Each rainbow maker is a handmade art piece that comes with a signed Certificate of Authenticity. I build them in my Omaha Resin Art studio — casting the center, firmly setting each prism in the radial pattern by hand, adding resin to lock everything together, then cleaning, adding chains, and checking every connection. If you’re local, you can see them at Benson First Friday shows or arrange a studio visit at 5069 Leavenworth Street in Omaha.
Midwest winters can be long and gray; a SunRain in a sunny window literally brightens the room, sending streaks of color across your space whenever the sun breaks through. It won’t replace therapy, but for someone facing winter blues it can offer a small, daily burst of joy when the spectrums suddenly appear. I first made SunRain for my family, especially my granddaughter, and seeing her face light up when the rainbows arrive convinced me it was worth sharing. Put one in a reading nook, another in the kitchen, and one in the hallway; each sunny day your home will offer new patterns of color and a quiet bit of magic.
I've designed an amazing and functional piece of art using lead-crystal prisms which are the key to rainbows like these. This is an elegant art piece that hangs in a sunny window and delights you, cheers you up, and surprises everyone lucky to see a rainbow.
Transform a sunny window into a dazzling rainbow display with my handmade SunRain rainbow maker. Crafted in the Omaha Resin studio, each features 25 Egyptian lead glass chandelier prisms from Asfour Crystals—each 2" long with 16 facets. You can have Rainbows Everywhere!
Rainbow Maker
Rainbow Maker ornament to hang in your window at home is SUNRAIN. This beautiful piece takes sunlight and disperses it into a variety of vivid spectrums or rainbows. The Egyptian 30% lead glass crystals are essential to creating such sharp and striking rainbows. I have placed three of these enchanting ornaments in my granddaughter’s bedroom at our house. In the afternoon, with the SUNRAIN…
John also offers an innovative product known as the rainbow maker. This exquisite piece captures light and transforms it into a spectrum of colors, adding a magical touch to any environment. Each rainbow maker is meticulously crafted, from lead crystal prisms radiatiing around a resin center.
Pyramid Pentagonal Lamp
Pyramid Pentagonal Lamp made from solid clear epoxy resin. This resin block receives light from a flat base and transmits light to each of the five triangles in the pyramid. A 110 volt 3 watt LED plugs into the wall and an inline switch controls the on off. The resin block merely rests on the LED puck light so the LED can be changed out for a colored light as shown in the video.
Resin Accent Lamp in Brass
Resin Accent Lamp in Brass. I’ve combined the beautiful and mysterious 20-sided icosahedron that I make with brass fixtures and a clear poured resin base. The base is a 5 sided pentagonal pyramid. An LED bulb shines from within the icosahedron. Power is 110 volt AC with a 12 volt adapter for continuous light controlled by an in-line switch. No wires show except what comes out of the very…
Here's my last Newsletter for a while. We're taking a trip to Maine and Prince Edward Island in Canada. I'll mark the studio closed while I'm gone.
Spectacular Geometric Sphere of 20 equilateral triangles in epoxy resin. Icosahedron can be made to order or purchased in store for $35
I love the transparency of these pentagon shaped spheres in resin. Check out the newsletter this month on Rainbow Icosahedron.
I hope you like this 20-sided three-dimensional piece of clear geometry, the Icosahedron. I'm building these with different color triangles and LED lights.

Icosahedron Geodesic Sphere in Resin
Icosahedron shapes are 7 inches in diameter and have pentagons of equilateral triangles fitting together at a 138° angle. They are made from 20 resin triangles that are 1/7″ thick. The triangles have 20° beveled edges for a perfect fit. My first attempt was with cardboard. I wanted to get the assembly correct and its hard to tell where to start. Can a flat paper be cut and folded into a 20…
