Iris

Here is my iris in glass!  I hope to do many more perfecting the coloration to be as realistic as possible. I was an avid iris grower several years back and at one time, i had 5 acres of over 500 varieties of tall bearded, hybrid irises.  Tour buses would show up when i separated and sold bulbs.  So, i should know my iris.  For those of you that fuse glass, the bottom of this iris is done on a Creative Paradise mold.  The top is my creation.  The flower is attached to copper tubing which can be found at any home improvement type store.  Stay tuned, more iris 

to follow and i'm also working on a glorious daffodil.

Lillies

Flowers have always been my passion so here's my first attempt at fused glass lillies!  This was done with a mold from Creative Paradise.  Glass cut and flower first assembled as a glass round. Powder streaks done and yellow in throat then glass round fused to a tack fuse.  Next, the flower round is placed on the mold and draped.  The stamen are made of wire and the stem is copper tubing.  My next project is to figure out orchids and irises.
