I love flowers. In fact, last year when we drove over Grand Mesa, I must have made my husband stop 1000 times so I could take pictures of the flowers. When we went to Westcliffe last spring, I literally must have taken hundreds of pictures of flowers. And of course, I’ve made fused glass flowers large and small. I’m so ready for spring and decided to make some flower mantle sconces. Well, I went a bit crazy. I used murrine, millefiori, hand pulled vitrigraph, and specialty glass. They were so much fun to make, and I love them so very much. They are perfect gifts for anyone.
I couldn’t help myself I also made some aspens. They are smaller than my normal aspens, but they are still beautiful.
Speaking of aspens, I went ahead and slumped my large aspens. I just love aspens – real and glass.
Don’t you just love mantle sconces – and yes, they can go anywhere not just on a mantle. Which one is your favorite?
