It's like corded, but skinnier. Hmm, it's like the small corduroy. You know how the veins in the iris leaves run along the length of the leave? That's what the fibroid texture looks like.

Thanks Rebecca. for not making fun of me. I felt a little foolish asking, but how else would you learn. Who makes that glass? I'll have to look it up. |

I wouldn't make fun of you. It's not that common. What I used was Uroboros. It was called light green, dark green, red, and blue. (Or something like that.) I had a piece on my shelf that was mostly light green and was SO close to the color of iris leaves. I ordered some more and asked if they could send me a sheet that was more green than red and blue. They did and I used the lighter green for the iris and the darker green for the gladiolas. It worked out nicely since there was so much texture in the window. Rebecca |

Not surprised at all, I have just not had the pleasure of seeing a lot of your work.

I just looked at the panels again. I am in awe of the work Rebecca. Those stems must have been a bear to cut. I know that you said they are over 4 foot tall but those stems must have been rather thin cutting. All three of them are amazing pieces for sure. I too hope that the man will send you pictures once they are all installed. Thanks for all the detailed information.

Truly amazing and to think that you would rather do repairs. Your cold glass work hasn't suffered at all.  How's the snow? |

I like to do repairs and new glass. I DON'T like to DESIGN! I wish someone would do the designing for me.

Those windows are totally gorgeous..for someone that doesn't like to design you did an OUTSTANDING job with these Rebecca!
I've got some of the Fibroid 70-70...it's is luscious! They also used to make a solid black Fibroid..I've got some of that kicking around here somewhere. Loved it too.
Beautiful work!

I have some fibroid ripple (fipple) that is black. I think it is COE 90. I got it to do the curly hair on my son's dog, but haven't done it yet. (How many years ago did I get it?)

Oh, these windows are beautiful!! Love the inclusion of the confetti glass (that's what it is right?) on the top. Sure hope we get to see a pic of the three of them installed.

Super lovely Rebecca! I also love the mottled glass you used for the gladiolas.

Yep, that's confetti at he top of the iris and gladolas. And the gladiolas are Oceana. I really struggled with the iris and gladiolas, too. There are things in all of them that I would do differently if I did them again, but I learn from each one.

OOh love the Oceana! What a nice use of it. I picked up some small pieces of Oceana on the trip to Youghi...and keep looking at it hoping something will strike me for an idea to use it for.
I wish I could have purchased larger/more quantities of it at the time I was there..hindsight is always 20/20.

Your use of the greens in the two windows is very good.
I would have guess the color was Laburnum B instead of Oceana. The color choice fits in the look very well.

Thank you, Wayne. I didn't know about the top window when I did the two flower windows. I wish I had known and I could have designed them all together. As it was, I had a hard time picking the greens for the magnolia. Ed Hoy's was out of one that I thought might work, but I pulled out everything I had and finally cut. I'm glad you say that it works.

Off hand I am not sure the top window works with the other two. If you are trying to have a three-way match and the photos are accurate, you don't have it. On the other hand if you want a bit of contrast because the magnolia green is deeper and different, you have that and can use it. Actually, that is the way it must be since the magnolia, especially the southern magnolia, has a deeper green than the lime green of the other windows. So the contrast is nature's greens at work. Here is a picture I took of a Southern Magnolia down here. |
