The Wedding

This is another illustration for "The Treasure Hunt". I worked with water glass, water color, paper, LEDs, and fiber optics in this piece. The skirt of the wedding dress is a synthetic calla lily turned upside down. 

My best memory of working on this piece is when my mom helped me by drilling the holes in the glass. It was a hot summer evening and we were in her garage using one of her stained glass machines. She drilled a half dozen holes for me, keeping the glass more steady over the drill bit than I was able to. I remember looking over at her and seeing sweat drip down her face from her white hairline. The resounding thought in my head was, "My mama loves me!"
