    Now I see why you put that greenhouse up so well. You’ve got real talent with glass.

      I’ll come back later and post some links to the places and people I met along the way in learning about glass.

    Good stuff, Jo6.

    I’ve always envied people with talent to create beauty.

    BTW, what do you think of the Portland Vase?

      I’m alway amazed by the work done so long ago, cameo is hard even today with modern tools. When this was made their were no diamond tools so it was done with wheels of copper in different sizes I do believe the same way glass carving was done at this time. Very Slow.

    WOW! let me know when you get back into this. I love so much of what you just showed.

    Whoa! You rock.
    When can I buy?

    I love the iridescence in your art. I am just really focused in on iridescence these days and for years now. I see it in nature. I see it in art.
    My eye Dr. says I have more rods and cones than average, and can see subtle colors.
