The Haliconia plant, with its striking colors and unique shapes, was an incredible source of inspiration. Known for its vibrant reds, yellows, and oranges, as well as its distinctive, intricate flowers, it provided a wealth of creative fuel for the design.
Summary of comments when this piece was exhibited. I like them all. I think this one but its close between two or three of them. I think because it represents something. You can immediately see what it is and I’m thinking of it as if it was to go in my house. It reminds me of gardening of course, that to me is obvious. It feels like your going to give it to me! Or by the price perhaps not! It’s something out of the ordinary. It’s so nice. I want to be able to treasure it. It doesn’t give an appearance of glass even though I know it is. I see the colours first so that’s textiles. It’s really nice.

Trapunto Art Glass uses the secretly guarded processes used by the Mesopotamians (1650BC.) to make glass vessels which contained expensive perfumes for the courts of the rich and powerful, and also for use in religious ceremonies. It is said to have mystical qualities and when combined with the Trapunto textile manipulation technique used in Medieval Times (1450AD.) an art form like no other is produced - ones which cannot be copied, or mass produced. Exhibition comments show that Trapunto Art Glass results in a very special personal experience often referred to as spiritual, tranquil or nostalgic thus relaxing the viewer and stimulating the imagination. Each piece of Trapunto Art Glass can take up to 3 months to complete and involves over 50 separate processes and is made to the highest quality standards often using precise hand dyed colour silks to create the experience. Inserted in each piece of Trapunto Art Glass is a hand stamped copper token indicating its uniqueness, providence and safeguarding investment.
