Poppy and Strawberry Garden Fused Glass Heart

This Poppy and Strawberry Garden Heart is a unique piece of art I designed and handcrafted in my home studio. Every step of its creation – from arranging the glass to firing it in my kiln – was approached with care and attention to detail. Inspired by vibrant gardens and the beauty of nature, this heart captures a miniature scene bursting with life and color.

For this heart, I started with a bold turquoise blue glass background, layered with a bright opalescent green to form the grass. Embedded within this lush garden scene are intricate glass details representing poppy flowers and strawberry plants. The entire composition is encased in a layer of iridescent clear glass, which catches the light and shifts in color when viewed from different angles. Tiny bubbles suspended within the glass add an organic element, resembling dew drops sparkling in the morning sun.

The front of this heart is smooth and glossy, perfect for showcasing its vibrant details, while the back retains a subtle texture from the mold, giving it a tactile charm. Measuring about 2 inches by 2 inches and weighing approximately 40 grams, it’s an ideal size to keep close – whether on your desk, nightstand, or in your pocket as a cherished keepsake. This heart is not a paperweight but a meaningful token of love, connection, or appreciation.

Each heart is one of a kind, making this piece truly special. It comes packaged in a small box, ready for gifting or as a personal treasure.
