Fused Scottish Thistle

I bought a big kiln and glass tools to start fusing just before Christmas last year, I have been playing with lots of different ideas.

I had a request from a lady called Lisa who I have been working with for the windmill charity in Corby, she wanted a Scottish theme gift her her mothers birthday, as I am new to fusing I told her I would have a play and see what I could come up with.

I finally finished it today and i am so proud of how it has turned out, I have surrounded it with a white shadow frame and if I do say so myself I think its brilliant!

What do you think? :)
