Edmonston's chickweed in glass

An unusual subject for a glass wave! When we were on Unst, Shetland we went to the Keen of Hamar and found the endemic Edmondston's Chickweed - click here for more info . It's very small and grows in a very harsh environment. I can honestly say with it being an endemic, fairly non-descript and portrayed in glass, it could well be the only fused glass wave of Edmondston's chickweed in existance! 

Prior to firing - it's always tricky estimating the amount of powder - in the sky to get a little colour but not too much.

The finished piece...
