Deceptive



Here's the part where you guess why this flower is deceptive.
I dare you!

Oh alright I can't stand the whining: it's not a flower, it's a glass paperweight.
The Sheridan glassblowing classes had a glass sale, and I couldn't pass this lovely up. Whoever made it (they couldn't tell me who, exactly, was responsible) blew paint into the glass as it was firing. It actually looks a lot like a Morning Glory. And those imperfections - the bubbes - are actually what made me really like it. They ended up looking like water drops.

This was fun to photograph - a lot like those beads from way back in first year.
Only because this was such high quality glass it didn't show any secondary coloring like the beads did.
