I’m on my way out to spend the day with Tory Hughes, who is in from Santa Fe NM, but I didn’t want to leave without sharing Debora Moore’s glass orchid sculptures. You can read about her process here.
“Acid-etched glass and sprinkled glass dust from surface “skins” suggestive of nature’s velvety, mossy and rugged textures, ingenious, but tricky, repeating rotations of semi-molten bubbles stretch powdery lines into thready radiating veins that nourish leaves.” From the Nancy Hoffman Gallery
The home page on her website is a continuous slide show of her portfolio. Nice way to start the day.
Debora Moore’s glass orchids ae amazingly beautiful and delicate.
If you like these, you should also check out the Glass Flowers exhibit at the Harvard Museum of Natural History.

I have always loved the glass flowers at the Peabody Museum in Boston. What a treat to see someone working in a similar format and with such creativity and beauty found in the final product.
Congratulations!
Extremely beautiful and low maintenance.
