Peonies in that Vase

26x37

Last winter, a wedding present—a Tiffany vase—landed on the floor. Though not my favorite (wildflowers didn’t suit it), I admired the crystal work. An ALG visiting show invitation inspired me to experiment with resin as grout to emulate the crystal work feel. It worked, but experimenting with different grout colors each section flattened the flowers.
 
I tried markers, watercolor, and acrylics, but the color was too strong. Disregarding the results, I covered the glass with a red acrylic paint, let it dry, and cleaned it.
 
The experiment turned out perfectly.
 
Peonies in that Elegant Vase proves that:
 
- Experimenting is self-love.
- It’s detachment.
- It’s courage.
- It’s progress.
- Experimenting is the ultimate privilege.

Mosaics over acrylics, markers, and watercolors. Tempered glass, antique chandelier crystal, natural pearls, and found objects.
