I have started creating very miniature flowers and leaves on wires.  They are made like my beads except on the end of galvanized wire.  I then twists the wires to create little groupings and gardens.  Everything is hand sculpted using the torch and kiln annealed.  Each miniature piece is put under a glass dome made of boro glass and created by my husband, Lewis.    The domes are from 2 and 1/2 inches to 6 inches tall and have an opening about 1/2 to an inch in which I have to insert the flowers before they are sealed on the base.
