I almost never make something that, once I see it, I won't let go of...this is the one. It's not very large, although hard to tell from the picture...maybe an inch and a half? The iridescence doesn't show in the picture. It's absolutely wonderful in person. Mine mine mine.

And, these are some more made of the silvered glass - so much fun to work with, but so frustrating...

The color towards the bottom of this one is not an artifact - it's really those colors.

Beautiful striations on this one, and not a clue how I did it.

The same iridescence on this one, and I love how the silver in the glass fumed the ivory background. I DO - really! - take good notes while I'm making them, but the problem is that I hate to clean beads. So, three or four weeks (or more) passes between the time I make them and the time I clean them. So, I forget what's what.
And, more yard art:

I'm so glad I live in South Austin....this just wouldn't fly north of the river, would it?
Gerber daisies, my very favorite flower
