In order to show movement or growth as in a figure or a flower, components are needed. Let’s use our skills to create flower centers, leaves and limbs. These will be the building blocks for any articulated piece you make in glass. They can also be the building blocks for a kinetic sculpture or design.

I can’t wait for you to share your design ideas. Besides, headpins are fun to make. A little off mandrel work can give you a new skill and remind you of ideas not previously articulated.
