flower heart

My first framework.  The flowers are about one inch across, and colored with boro frits.

It's snowing again, so it was nice to find this bit of Spring in the kiln this morning!

pink rose


My first flamework boro rose.

Also started my first framework that I will fill with leaves and small flowers.
  
I need to get my flowers hanging on the wall before Kaji goes exploring, and decides they belong on the floor.

lampworked summer sweetness


Springtime in the mountains.  Snowy, windy, sun-shine and warmth, sometimes all in the same day.  But I've been thinking about summer flowers... and big ripe blackberries...  

Life-size borosilicate glass scabiosa flower and blackberries.

Still working on assembling individual components into a larger sculpture.   I'm going to try using temporary bridges to hold the components in place, while I'm fusing the connections.
