A Small Grove of Trees
Over the weekend, I completed the work on three small sushi dishes. One of these will be my entry in the miniatures portion of The Lines Into Shapes Show in Estes Park. After looking at all of them, I decided the one that looks the most like A Grove of Trees will be my submission for the miniature category. A Small Grove of Trees, pictured above, became the obvious choice.
Each of these are approximately 4" square. And I used some of my favorite Bullseye glasses for these dishes.
The runners up are:
Tranquility
This one reminds me a little of An Arrow in the Forest, only without the arrow. I love the green hues in this, however, I kept coming back to the one that more closely resembled A Grove of Trees.
Autumn Strings
As I was working on designs for the minis, Dan thought it would be fun if I worked on a collection of the straight stringers, lining them up. I started with that and just wasn't feelin' it, so I mixed it all up and included some of the vitrigraphs I had created. I'm pleased with the look and layering.
These are the minis. I think they are cute and fun. Now I hope others will find them appealing and consider adding them to their art glass collections.
May all of you have a wonderful week of creativity!

Very sweet, I like them!
Kathleen,
All three are wonderful! Tranquility speaks to me the most of the three. I'm not sure why, it just does.
those are great! I really love the one with the stringers. It looks so fun
Interesting, Kathleen. A Small Grove of Trees has a craftsmany look to it (as in 1920's style) which is so appealing. And for some reason, Autumn reminds me of Pollack. I was just wondering if candles could be placed on these pieces, or are they too curved?
Excellent, beautiful works! I
can't help but like them. I also
seem to have a craving for sushi
now! Peace.
Take care,
Tom
They're all wonderful! The one in the middle especially reminds me of the sushi itself (in its design).
I love Janelle's candle idea!! (good gifts!) :)
They are all lovely, but Tranquility is my favorite, too. I love the subdued, earthy colors of the stripes, and the band of small stripes going the other direction gives it nice movement.
Good luck with your show!

Autumn Strings is fabulous!!!!!
Wow! "Autumn Strings" feels like reflections in water with all those fallen leaves.
Thanks Linda! I think they are cute.
Hi Sandy. Thank you. Tranquility is one I'm partial to also, I think A Small Grove of Trees is best suited for the miniatures at Estes.
Thanks Sophie, Autumn Strings was fun to make.
Oh Janelle! I soooo appreciate your insight. And I am very flattered that you think Small Grove looks like the craftsman style...one of my favorites! Now I want to do more in that vein. Yes, you can definitely place a candle on them...great idea!
Thanks TL. I enjoy your feedback and you've made me chuckle at the thoughts of sushi!
Hi Karen. Thanks for your feedback and I too enjoy Janelle's candle idea...I think they'd make great accents for candles.
Thanks so much Pippi! I appreciate it.
Hey there Holly! Thanks! :)
Hi Loriann! I like your thoughts about Autumn Strings. Thanks!
Oooooh, these are great! I love Small Grove of Trees and the one just below it. Are there more in this series?
Hi Sharmon! Thanks. I do plan on doing more; had great fun creating small works like these.
Hey Kathleen, Your glass work is beautiful and the Necklace just below is gorgeous! Wishing You lots of luck and a fun time!
Hey Sue! Thanks so much. Been missing you, glad to see your posts. :)
I think you made a wise choice! But I'm also drawn very much to Tranquility. The narrow strip of horizontal lines was a great touch! First thing I thought of was a piano keyboard.
Kathleen these are so colorful and pretty....
hope you're having a wonderful weekend

Oh Kathleen, these little dishes are just fab. Do you sell them - if so where? I can't decide which is my favourite, they are all so lovely.
Kristin :)
Hi Deborah! I like your take on tranquility.
Hey Mona! Thanks.
Hi Kristin. Right now the only one that is available is 'A Small Grove of Trees' and that is at the show in Estes Park. I do plan on making more as the response has been great. I'll keep you posted as others are completed. Thanks.
WOOOO! I love these sushi plates! I don't eat it, but the plates are delicious!
