Title: Purple Glass
Post by: Dalton Knapper on October 18, 2015, 07:14:27 pm

Just 'cause it's a litttle different and pretty - some architectural glass from lord knows how long ago that I found in a creek and knapped out. It probably graced a stuorefront sometime back in the 1920s or 1930s, but would up in a creek all waterworn and tumbled, until I picked it up. I'm not so great with glass, but what I do is what I do:

Any color but black and purple is simply a reflection of something else around the shot. The green is from an oak tree.

Thanks BTW, all.
