Sunflower and Daisy bowls

I wanted to show you my newest creations.  The mold is by Creative Paradise, GM88, a large organic slumper.  Don't let my pictures be misleading as the bowls photograph to appear quite large.  They actually measure about 3 1/2" deep and about 9" across.  It takes time to develop a pattern that fits a mold and then experiments in firing to be sure it slumps correctly.  This piece requires two firings.  I'm still working to perfect it and once done, will consider writing a tutorial.  I am photographing every step so i'm headed in that direction.

Iris

My love of iris continues.  This iris photographs slightly blue but it's actually a lavender and white opal streaky.  The lower petals were fused and the slumped on a Creative Paradise mold and the top, just as in the iris below, was draped over the top of a stainless cocktail shaker.  I'll eventually have my bouquet of glass flowers for a basket.
