I haven't made too many of these; maybe a couple of dozen flowers total? Someday I'll dive in more, I just got carried away doing other stuff for now...

Haven't made too many of these really, but I got a request from Ralph at Glasswurx. I'm glad he suggested it, I forgot how much fun they are!

I was going for the lilac flower here for a custom request. I researched it on the web first, and this was another of the first few attempts...

Flower_03 - This flower is a little more advanced than the previous ones. Some of my experimentation is starting to pay off! Green Exotic and White make up the Stamen and Pistils followed by 4 protruding Midnight encased Star White pedals, then a layer of Silver Tears leaves. All that is surrounded by Amethyst Ice Cane leaves and sepal. Fun stuff! Diameter is 1-1/2"

Here's a beautiful Rose style flower made using Caribbean Coral (with a light encased layer of Bl. Elvis to accent the tips) and Forest Green for the calyx. Not exactly true to form, but a bit fantasy like. I like the idea we can create our own types of flowers, but I also look forward to mimicing some of natures most stunning flowers as well. 1-7/16" Dia.

A little glowing gather of pistils pops out of the center of several red petals. The pistils were made with silver beach, and the inner group of petals are made with caribbean coral lightly encased with a layer of Bl. Elvis. The outer leaves are a combination of Forest Green and Parrot Green. Little dew drops accompany some of the leaves. 1-3/8" Approx. Dia.

Some flowers just don't come out as expected, so I did what any smart artist would do and named my mistakes. Hence, the Imperfect Flower Series.
