I fell in love with this design that I found on the web designed by Wally Turnbull and made by George McGinn of North Carolina. Shopping for the glass was a joy as I had clear textured in mind right from the start. I found a nice wispy clear with circular swirls that were perfect for the circles around the celtic cross. The rippled purple for the thistle was left over from the coral reef lamp project. This one went to Lorna for her birthday in the summer of 2012. Happy B-day Lorna! 🙂
