Another example of my creative process. I wanted to improve on a design I made last fall which had a vase holding three flowers, all done with clear textures. This time, I was determined to work out the outside dimensions first. This would allow me to match the flow of the design in the architectural glass I was using to frame the piece. When I laid it out on the table, it quickly became obvious that the proposed frame was far too thick for a long, narrow piece, and that the pale-colored vase was actually the same glass as the frame -too matchy, matchy! I also decided that the use of coloured wine glass bases was not going to work because they were all the same size. So I cut the strips in half. Then I gave myself permission to cut up a cobalt blue, hand-etched plate I had flatttened at least three years ago, and to use three of my Scottish wine glass bases. I used nearly the last of my bits of green-on-green fractured streamer for the stems and leaves - and voilà - Salutations!
