Inspiration?

Earlier this week, a friend asked what inspires me when I’m working with glass. I had trouble answering, and it has been on my mind. I could probably answer a bit better now, after thinking about it for a few days, but there are so many things that can offer inspiration – feelings, nature, beauty, shapes. But I think individual pieces of glass often spark the best inspiration, or perhaps help make the decision for a project. Today I was absolutely awed by these two sheets of dichroic glass (two photos of each with different lighting). I’m going to try to use these for a Sun / Moon project, although I have to admit it is hard to cut into these beautiful sheets!
