I bought this frame years ago from Walls, when they used to have their department store items on Main Street. It had a mirror in it and I used it as that, but always knew it would become a frame for something. The metal flowers extend out, different ones, and I like the muted colors. Hollyhocks are a prominent flower in New Mexico, up and around near Taos. The hollyhocks inspired this garden within me.
The doll heads are form California. In my mind, I would like to see flowers made out of them, with their face in the center of the flower. Sometimes though, an item you might like to put in doesn't hold - it just won't work. I would rather compromise over the design, but never the structure.Glass gems, from Oklahoma City. Porcelain bowl from Green's Corner, in Shawnee, Oklahoma.These are all the different founds objects I liked seeing in this piece. Next step, foil every piece, smooth out every edge...then move onto fluxing and soldering....
2013 will mark my 13th year working with glass. My third year in painting. I push the envelope as far as what I can create with both mediums. Good things happen when glass breaks or mistakes happen...from there more is beautifully and meaningfully revealed.
