Beautiful! At first glance I thought the thistle was made of metal. Brilliant way to set off the muted color of the central area.

Don, I love it. I'm looking for a way to make natural looking leaves. Are yours mostly all paint, or green glass with black painted edges.

Very well done. Nice detail. The vignette effect of light in the center and dark on the edges is so effective. I'm especially fond of thistles, so I love that element, too. I'm sure you will get a lot of interest in this piece.
