Lucky Stripe Studios, Creations by Lea de Wit

I love this flower, given to me by Tess. It is a lively glass sculpture by San Diego glass artist Lea de Wit. It has beautiful red and orange swirls and a meandering vine stem.

Under the name Lucky Stripe Stuidos, Lea designs beautiful jewelry, ornaments, vases and lighting for the home. For Christmas, I gave both of my sisters a hand-blown glass ornament precious metal leaf from Lea's collection. Click here to go to the Lucky Stripe Studios homepage.
