Pretty in Purple

So I actually got something done last night - a pretty purple vase. And thanks to Paul, who's a much better photographer than I am, took these pictures on our patio today, so that you can see it too. :)



This is the bottom, front half of the vase, with the copper charm I attached. I think it looks a little like a treble clef, so maybe I'll call it "Purple Medley"?
This top view allows you to see the ribbon attachments. A wide, white, wired (3Ws!) ribbon, with a thinner purple one overtop.
The inside. :) I put in purple marbles because I think I might use this is candle lantern instead. And, I glazed the glass a light lavender color, and then textured it in a clear glaze, leaving a sort of crackled glass effect, so the purple marbles really catch the light, and bring out the purple color.


The finished product. What do you think?
