Gallery of Florals

The Florals were to capture the effect of a vase of flowers. I chose vase-like colors for the beads: ivory, white,
light blue, and black, since the bead represents the vase. I realize that flowers come out of the top of a vase,
but isn't this called 'artistic license'? The stems and foliage are an even green since any questionable looking
pieces would have been cut out of a real bouquet. The flowers are made from a floral cane which is a thin pulled
rod of glass that combines transparent and opaque glass to create depth and visual complexity.
