Design by Leslie Gibbs
A 7-1/4" round stained glass orchid panel. This tropical design is enhanced by the placement of the stem and leaf behind the orchids plus the use of a dark green background, both of which seem to make the lighter blooms move toward the viewer. Contour and depth are added to the tender petals of the orchids through careful use of the shading in the gold pink/yellow glass. This project was constructed using the copper foil technique.
