I'm not generally attracted to Pate de Verre... but that's fantastic... I love it.
Maybe there's a chance for redheads too.

Its beautiful--so perfectly done. A lot of Pate de Verre looks rough or unfinished to me--but your work never does.

Great control. You have mastered the color / form thing. I know how difficult it is to make it look that easy.

Thanks Haydo. I do actually, but it's very loose and constantly on the edge of chaos. Mostly native and other perennials with some annuals thrown in now and then. Takes up most of the yard. Lots of birds, butterflys, little reptiles, and insects.
