The instruments that I use to create the flower violins are bought in auctions. They come in various conditions, some missing parts, some dinged and usually with the carrying cases which makes shipping or carrying them home easy. All instruments come with a metal stand that is purchased separately. I clean up the violins gently.
All flowers, leaves, and bees are made of glass and properly annealed before used to decorate the violin.

GRADUATION GIFT
mandolin
Unnumbered
I bought this mandolin for a
"song and dance"
but once it was in my hand, I decided
that it didn't have the character I seek.
So what do you do with
it - paint the front and then create dozens of
flowers in glass to match
the flowers in the painting. I love it
and will hang it on my wall.
