Glass Garden Flowers Collection

Spring and the start of summer have been busy!  Post pandemic, many activities have resumed and are in full swing.  Art shows, garden tours and the adventures of the 20-somethings, as well as the nearly daily watering in my yard due to a local drought have kept me busy and outside.

I planned on doing a Glass Garden Art part 2 post for a long time (Garden Art 1 post here).  I took all the photos in this post before the pandemic. To meet my 2023 blogging goals I decided to share a quick version of that planned post today.

I collect glass and china, so making Glass garden flowers from collected vintage and estate sale glass became an easy addition to my collecting habit. I created all of the glass flowers in this post.

I don't sell my glass flower creations, so I now have over 90 glass flowers tucked around my yard.  My glass flowers stay out year round, since storing the 3 dimensional heavy glass platters would exhaust almost any space I would have available for storage.  Besides, in the winter months, they brighten up the yard and look great against the snow (see photos in this post here).

The flowers look different in the garden versus a white background.  I've often thought that I'd love to do an art museum installation of my flowers.  The flowers massed up against a clean background with great lighting could look fantastic.  As it is, in the garden I consider my glass flowers my personal version of a Chihuly installation, a glass artist whose works I admire.

Goethe said -

"We are shaped and fashioned by what we love"  - and I love flowers, gardens and glass.  Have a great summer and enjoy the flowers!
