Glass designer Shannon Shepherd named this beautiful decor fused glass platter 'Out of The Blue' being that it was inspired by the brilliant iridescent nuggets and swirling pieces of blue and mauve glass she had available in her glass studio.

Multi-coloured dichoric glass nuggets form the sparkling centers of two blue daisies. The individual petals are hand cut, and the floral shapes are carefully laid out. A fused glass platter comes together in many stages in the artist's kiln, where the glass is stacked, layered, and fired. Once fused, the platter is shaped in a mold in a process called "slumping" to form a gently sloping bowl shape.
