Wordless Wednesday: center of a violet heart, 2008

wordless Wednesday

V is for Violet

Violet is not purple.

Purple is the amazing thing that happens when the two ends of the visible spectrum are blended. Violet plus red is purple.

That is all I have to say. Thanks for listening.

some times you have to move on, and that means not blaming yourself or the design.


I committed myself to donating a stained glass to an fundraiser at work, spent lots of time drawing and erasing to come up with a design. Carefully chose glass, then was not exactly thrilled with the result...

those dark pieces are not black, but a very dark violet that seemed to let more light through before I started.


so off I went to draw a new design and in that mood came up with nothing I liked. Then I let the thought float up... the design is good try again, which I did...








Oh, the first piece will not be destroyed. I have made art for long enough to know that just because I don't like something I created, doesn't mean nobody will like it. I am pleased with the second piece.
