The Flower

by Amy T.
(Vacaville, CA, USA)

I have been fiddling with stained glass for over 4 years. Since I am a stay at home mom, my time is very limited. I made this flower for my girl's room. They always like to play with my beads, so I was inspired to make them a flower to hang in their room. I think it turned out great. All of my stained glass projects that I have created were hand drawn; except my first three.
Thank you for allowing me to share one of my works of art. I have enjoyed looking at the other's as well!

Milly's reply: Amy, thanks to you for letting us see your stained glass project. I bet your daughters were thrilled - lucky them having a mum that takes time to make lovely things for them.
I particularly like the way you've managed to capture the lively quality of the flower with the lead line and your use of clear glass. I often talk about how clear glass accentuates the coloured areas with my students, and this is a good example.
It's great that you're designing your own work, too - it makes it so much more personal. Keep it going!
