Pseudo-Antique Flowers

All my works are original, my own design. My inspiration comes from everyday things I see all around me, and as I work on each piece I come up with a short story. The finished product then becomes an illustration, a postcard, a mood snapshot.

This panel was "commissioned" by my 5-year old daughter.  She asked for "pink and purple flowers and hearts"...  Well, I am not into pink and purple, and especially not into hearts, so this was my interpretation.  She loved it, by the way :)

I made this panel using the copper foil or "Tiffany" style method - so no lead came was used. I used a piece of iridized streaky pink/purple/white glass for the background and made everything else out of glass nuggets.  The seams are patinaed into grey/black color. The dimensions are 16 x 24 inches.

I photographed this panel in different lighting to better display the glass that I used.  Glass can look very different under different lighting, color changes can be very drastic.  I try to provide photos in various lighting conditions to give people better idea of what my pieces look like.
