Design by Carol Giffin
Two 4"-square plus one 1-1/2" x 8-1/2" rectangular tiles. Painted details are used to highlight the veins in real, leathery leaves, such as ivy or ferns, which are then placed between opalescent and clear glass pieces and fused together. These tiles can be used as coasters, framed for wall hangings, or used to finish the edge of backsplash tiles.
