becoming an even warmer silver

The center is a 1/2" high beehive shape made from extra shiny chartreuse lined glass beads surrounded by sprays of glass/gold crystal glass beads

The finish on the beads creates a softness in both texture and color that is meant to evoke a Victorian valentine postcard

Victorian Garden #2 informal Delicate informal upright bonsai treeInspired by vintage Victorian postcards and done in soft frosted translucent glass beads to emulate those texture and hues. The focal point of this piece is a large deep red poppy with ruffled petals and an intricate center made of seven different beads. The frosted red beads glow like sea glass in the light. The entire arrangement is set in river pebbles and permanently fixed in a vintage McCoy planter. The height is ~8. 25" including the planter.
