How are the Flower Ornaments made?
Each piece consists of two handblown (or hand-dropped in this
case, since they are "blobs" and not exactly blown) round glass
pieces, placed back to back and attached with a stained glass
taping procedure, in which solder is applied to the entire edge.
Before they are soldered together, Eastridge cutst a delicate
flower out of tissue paper and places it onto the
back of one glass piece. The fineness of the tissue paper
allows light to flow through showing off the edges of the
beautiful flower.
