Something different...

I have started dabbling in stained glass sculpture.  Here are some pics of my first attempt. This butterfly is a featured item at “My Giving Tree” in Belton, TX.  The wings are a mixture of mottled, iridized, clear and purple/blue
textured glass and light yellow nuggets. The body is hand-cast metal with wire details.  I finished it with a pewter patina and mounted the butterfly to a twisted wire and brass tube stand with an antiqued finish. I am looking forward to the next sculpture!
