Sunday Evening Art Gallery — Millefiori

~ humoringthegoddess

Millefiori is a glasswork technique which produces distinctive decorative patterns on glassware. Millefiori glass is decorated with cross-sections of patterned canes, often arranged to resemble a field of small flowers. The maker builds a design through the length of a glass cane, draws the cane thinner, cuts it into patterned slices called murrine, and fuses those pieces into or onto another glass form.

The results of this labor-intensive process are gorgeous patterns and deep intensive colors that instantly make any object artistic and unique.

I am a writer of fantasy fiction that often surrounds middle-aged women. I am a married mother of two and granny to three, a BoHo Chic kinda gal. I am recently retired and busier than when I worked 9-5. But writing and blogging is my main game.
