I acquired a ton of glass and other supplies from an acquaintance that was moving and whose family didn’t want to pack up all her glass. In the batch I found this fun etched piece that brought me right back to my 'horse days.” When I was much younger, I had three different horses. Each holds a special place in my heart so I wanted to make this piece special as well. The barn wood frame definitely fit the bill, and I wanted to give them an open green pasture to run. Choosing lead over glass-on-glass added that extra special touch.
