Judges' comments

Good choice of color and light creates a well-balanced stained glass window. Use of decorative painting rather than plant material detracts from overall distinction.

‘Beauty from Afar’



The rose-star represents the dominance of the rosace in gothic cathedrals and is complemented by the glittering 'stained glass' lancet windows below.

Judges' comments

Details of the embellished border anchored by the pokeweed and coriander tie front and back together. Transparency and contemporary style of the design conflicts with the interpretation of the class.

Splendor in Glass... Revered by Cherubs

Plant(s)

See sample card.

Judges' comments

The deconstruction and reconstruction of the cherubs adds distinction to the design. The placement of the campo and baby's breath flowers confuse the lines of the design.

Judges' comments

This design has a pleasing color palette. The lack of transparency due to the heavy use of resin diminishes the overall effectiveness of the design.

Effective use of skeletonized leaves creates a realistic outside looking in design.
