    I started this 5 yrs ago when I was confined to my wheel chair.. it got pushed to the way side when I moved to Tx and started working on my house.. I started working on glass work again last month cause it was to blasted hot to work out side.. did a bunch of small pieces to get the hang of cutting and soldering again and then dragged this out of storage...Im surprised it survived the move as well as it did . some of it had gotten broken so I had to recut some of it ...some of the glass was missing ( dont ask me where it when to...lol... Ill probably find it now that Im done) so I had to buy a sq ft of the lighter green to finish it but finish it I did after 5 yrs.. now I just have to get it framed and knowing me it might take another 5 yrs...lol.

    its about 2 ft round..the back ground is a dark purple wispy, the lip of the calla iridescent pink, the body of the calla iridescent white and the inside of the body a wispy white.. the leaves are opaque greens its done in copper foil with 1/4 wide foil using 60/40 solder and patinaed in black
