I love trees - love drawing them, painting them, talking to them so it's no big surprise that I'd want to create a few in glass. It was an interesting piece to work on because I layered so many small pieces of glass I thought I'd made a really solid base but when it fired and contracted, it was much more lacy than I'd anticipated. I really like it and would use the technique again and know now just how thick I can pile up the glass and it won't be too thick.

Pic 1- before it's fired - you can see the layers of small pieces of glass

Pic 2 - fired and hanging in the window
