Yellow, Green, White and a bit of Orange Bud Vase

This vase is a beautiful addition to any home décor.  Perfect for a single bud or a few stemmed blooms.  This vase makes a special, unique, artisan made gift. 

The artistic process:  I started by making glass pebbles which takes several firings to combine the colors of yellow, green, orange, white and clear and get the swirls of patterns into "pebbles".   I then cut a piece of clear to fit a dam mold and laid out the pebbles into a design and fired to a full fuse (flat/smooth).   That piece was placed on a square ring with a round hole in center that is elevated above the kiln floor.  The kiln is programmed to heat to certain temperatures where I watch as the glass slowly drops through the inside of the rim until it touches the kiln floor, I then flash cool to annealing temperatures.  Once it is fully annealed and cooled, I cut the top rim of glass off with a tile saw  then grind and polish the top to a smooth finish.
