In December Droopy posted some beautiful orchid pics. I just had to have them in glass. I made a pattern from the photo and got hubby on board for this. I orignally wanted pink but this yellow glass kept calling my name.

I needed something heavy to hold these glass pieces so I made a hypertufa vase in a cheap glass vase. The glass is then busted and holes are drilled in the top. Then I glassed it in blue and hubby grouted it. I made the leaves from sheet copper and soldered them to wires.

Not too bad.

We are super busy this spring so I am keeping up with the forum as best I can. I'm mostly just reading the posts and looking at all the beautiful pics. I'm hot and heavy working on a mosaic sink for My yard.

What attractive work, Bethie. I sure like the looks of that...and as for the inspiration...well, you could find none better than Droopy. What she does in the garden is a marvel.
Well done.

Oh Bethie those orchids are really beautiful!! You have such a talent for working with glass. I wish you lived nearer to me so that I could watch you create such works of art. Droopy is going to be thrilled to bits when she sees them.

I'm deeply honoured, awestruck and full of admiration for your handiwork Bethie! Gotta show this to my husband, he'll probably oooh and aaaw at that spectacular pot and flowers.

What a beautiful piece of art. I love the yellow glass as well, although pink would have been pretty too. Yep, Droopy is inspiring with her beautiful pics. Thanks for sharing.
