Flowers that bloom in a ball of fire and molten glass. ?
Clear and transparent colors have always been my favorite types of glass to work with, and this type of pendant showcases the unique properties of molten glass; flowing movement and then … frozen forever. I use an optically clear glass for optimal quality and ‘glass orb’ look.
This flower has deep blue petals, a bright yellow center of stamens, and 3 pale green sepals at the base.
I start by creating ‘canes’ which are small sticks of glass featuring 2-3 colors, usually a transparent color layered over a solid color such as white. This adds depth to the petals. I then make a cane to represent the yellow flower stamens in the center.
Each component is melted on to a clear glass surface, and then through the magic of heat and gravity, the flower blooms. It is magic every time.
