While I'm doing the final sanding, I thought I would go over the meaning of the glass design.
The overall design was created using Cherokee symbolism for the client.
A) There are seven of the short stems with buds representing the seven clans of the Cherokee people. (Wolf, deer, bird, wild potato, blue, long hair and paint)
B) I used the arrowhead plant as requested from the client who fondly remembers them growing up.
C) In the leaf is the veining. The veins create a silhouette of grandmother spider that brought the fire to the Cherokee.
D) The flower blooms have a swirl in the center used in Cherokee pottery and symbolizes the stomp dance.
E) The plants stems, with the combination of the flower bloom, turns into a design resembling a Cherokee pottery border used for thousands of years.
The ends is near for this project. Thanks for following along and stay tuned for the final few steps. Thanks.
