WOW, I hadn't really looked at this thread in depth until yesterday and I am blown away by all the various versions of an Orb. The talent and imagination of all of you is incredible. I just had to have a try at this for myself and thanks to the very good explanations as to how to go about it here is what I've come up with. (Image from Morguefile)  |

Really nice BillieJean! Was the original a watercolor?

Glad you like it Tom. Now here is where I show my ignorance. As far as I know it's a photograph, but of what – that's another question.
If you go to morguefile and put 0064.jpg in the search box you can see for yourself what I mean. I love colour and when I first came across this that's what attracted me, that and the translucent quality it seemed to have. I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

LOL; That is a nice picture! The keywords suggest it is a picture of flowers made of glass. I'm going to save that one for some future project; thanks!

That is a nice picture! The keywords suggest it is a picture of flowers made of glass. Tom, if I am not mistaken this is a photo of the glass flower art installation at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. It is actually a chandelier called Fiori di Como by glass sculpture Dale Chihuly and is comprised of 2,000 hand-blown glass blossoms. I have a photo of this on one of my blog posts. |

I have to say I've wondered about that photo for a while so thanks for that information Simone. It explains perfectly the translucent quality I thought I saw. It must be wonderful to see it in real life. |
