Stellar Jays

Inspired by a Stellar Jay on neighbor's roof on morning, I decided to develope a Art Neuveau / Art Deco piece with some hy-bred Mackentosh Roses.  The sweeping graceful lines and very thin blades of grass created a technical challenge for me, but ultimately the came together very well. 

When complete I made an oak frame that continues the lines and stems so that it becomes an extension of the glass and the oak becomes more than just a frame.
