Inspiration for Gloria and John.

Fraternal Twin Glass Triangle Dishes
Completing a pair of triangle dishes. Fraternal twins. I cut a piece of Fusers Reserve to fit the triangle mold. It just seemed boring. so I cut it into thirds. Placed the center section in this piece. and placed glass in a mosaic fashion on the ends.
