Question Anyone know what you call these glass art sculptures?

This is at a client's property. She has an Aunt in NJ that makes them.

I was taking a short cut through some back roads here and saw a house with the entire front yard filled up with these and other art items for sale. I will try to go by there next week - but in the meantime...anyone know what are these called?

TIA!

Trash art (made from dishes)...that is a "dish flower" or "art flower."

Thanks, Fint! Mystery solved! I also saw it referred to as a glass plate flower.

I'm dating a woman who has made a few of these. I think you can find many on Etsy You can get creative as you want.

My MIL makes these. I got a bird bath for Christmas. Pretty cool.

I’m hoping I don’t get any more. That might ruin the cool.

I love glass, in fact I've done a couple of stints at summer school doing glass blowing.

But I'm starting to think Eric is right.

Those are eye catching, that is good re-purposing.

They have about the same appeal to me as a bunch of plastic pink flamingos in front of a FL house...

Eye-catching Targets

Obviously... I am not their's
