An 11" square fused glass panel featuring a grouping of spring flowers. The background glass, center flowers, and long, spiky leaves are cut from glass, while smaller stems and leaves are made from glass stringer. Details for finishing the design are created using rod bits. Tips are included for constructing a slumping mold for the panel and for cutting and constructing the panel stand.
