Make Way for Irises On Parade
Throughout May, irises bloomed everywhere around here, and my town was preparing for their annual Iris Festival and Parade.

Earlier this year I was away from my glass studio managing six back-to-back FIRST Robotics competitions in different cities each week. While away, I found creative inspiration at every turn but had no way of creating any glass art for nearly two months because of the extensive traveling.
