This is my first picture posting on here.
This was done for a co-worker who was retiring. She is from Hawaii and has aways shown me pictures of this flower, so when she retired I made this for her as a going away present. She really liked it. I made this from a picture of the flower that I found.

Thank you for all your comments. This lady was very special to me. She was my first supervisor there and mentored me. She had a great laugh and it was very contagious and it was sad to see her go.

Thanks Ya'll. You are very encouraging. I will try to post my next if I get off my rear to get it finished. It's been sitting on the table for about 4 months all foiled except for about 7 pieces..... what the heck...?

Love the colors and making a gift that has special meaning for the recipient makes a glass gift extra fun for the giver as well as the recipient! How thoughtful of you!

What a great gift to show how much she means to you! I LOVE confetti glass and love the way you used it here on this panel. I have a few pcs that I drool over a couple times a year...then put them back in the "stash",cuz I am too scared to screw them up!lol!

I used to do that too, Jane, but I say USE IT! Go for it! That glass stands on it's own and you can't mess it up.
