The Syrinx convex mirror was inspired by the beautiful, pale amethyst crystal points I found. The really established the design of this mirror. I used a thick silver gilded frame that I embellished with light lilac Venetian glass rods and a rim of amethyst beads.
The Syrinx mirror is about 16 inches in diameter. It resided in my studio pending being shipped to one of my venues.

The name is from the Greek word syrinx (pipe), a reference to the hollow stems of the lilac. Also, a Greek myth that Pan, the god of the forests and fields, chased Syringa through the forest. Frightened by Pan’s affections, Syringa escaped him by turning herself into an aromatic bush – the flower we now refer to as lilac.
