Upcycled Glass with Class


Since sometime last year, I've been keeping my eyes open for vintage glassware in colors and scalloped shapes.


As I'm frequenting thrift stores only rarely these days, it's taken me some time to gather enough to work with. But this weekend I finally felt I had enough to play with, and am pleased with my first garden flower creations. 


I'll be attaching "stems", so they can be planted in the ground or a pot, and I'm pondering if they need something more in the middles, or if I should leave them as is.  Suggestions would be most welcome.


They'll be making their debut at Mud and Suds in the Yard.

These are beautiful together; when I had my lavender farm I put a several pieces of glass together in a totem shape and slid them on a piece of rebar stuck in the ground (the bottom piece was a tall vase upside down).

Linda, I knew you were in FL so I was curious. We'll have to compare dates.
Jen, that blue dish reminds me of a lotus flower, so it seems fitting that's your favorite.
