Description
This stained glass flower has been made from a smooth opaque black glass for the leaves with a gentle wispy white glass for the petals. The little streaky glass leaves peep out from behind, finished with a copper patina. And the ladybird is seeking the company of the quiet.
I draw each flower, often just freehand, I hand cut the glass and grind the edges to remove the sharp and to leave a surface that will hold the copper foil tape. Each petal is soldered to the next, at a slightly raised angle, together with the leaves, making it a little more 3D. The glass is chosen for it’s different properties; its opaqueness or its transparency, its texture and of course, its colour.
This midnight bloomer would be happy against a wall or in a window.
It measures 16cm in diameter and is suitable for indoors only.
