My dear mother bought me a very old
butterfly collection a few years back, MY WORD, I think I should study insects a whole lot more, take a leaf out of their book. Colour and texture in
nature: SO exciting.

Anyhow! This is
flameworked dichroic glass, it is deliciously, outrageously shiny. And intriguing, I think.

I'm rather excited about these colours, and how inspiration is waiting just outdoors.

Some sweeeeet colours in
nature, and in
glass.

And here's my little flameworking corner in the shed.

And again, with the process of
flameworking, glass can be used as a solution for displaying fragile findings. (And maybe even wearing them?)
Alrighty, tomorrow I'm going to one of my FAVOURITE
places ever. See you there!
