Poppy Field no.3

While envisioning these pieces I thought of large billowing fields of poppies. I wanted to capture the poppy in all stages of its life, from bud, to flower, to seed pod with its black cap. I also wanted to capture the movement of the poppy in the field as it follows the sun and billows in the breeze, arriving at the different petal shapes that you can see in this piece. This "field" has two blossoms, as well as a bud and a seed pod, and an undulating piece of green glass to represent the field itself.

Handmade from a few types of red, green and black stained glass. There is a small copper loop on the back of the middle flower for hanging.
