stained glass flowersI created this stained glass artwork depicting hollyhocks as a wedding present for dear friends. It is my opinion that the theme of flowers in stained glass is very over-done and often trite looking, so I do them only rarely or by commission. I always try to come up with some depiction of flowers that is unique or captivating or classy. I hope you like these. I do!

This artwork is much brighter than it appears here, but retouching it seemed like a lot of work, so I didn't. The background is two different textured clear glasses. The flowers are made from glass with a "cats-paw" (colored spots) texture, which is achieved by cooling spots on the molten sheet of glass more quickly than the rest of the sheet through tiny holes in the surface of the table on which the molten glass is "rolled" (using air or water... I'm not sure which). The five small circles are faceted glass "jewels".
