Round glass plate, 10 3/4" in diameter. Center of the plate is medium blue. Around the center are concentric circles of pale blue, mossy green and medium blue. All of it is overlaid with flecks and lines of transpqrent blue and green. Edge of the plate is white, as that is the base, with colors breaking the edge up where they tried to spill over.

Round, 7cm or 2 3/4" in diameter, fused glass ornament made of stripey (pre-made) white and light blue glass.
Most of the ornament are thin curved white and blue stripes while bottom has uninterrupted blue section. On top of the stripey glass are three snowflakes made of silver foil arranged in a triangular pattern. Due to chemical reaction with glass, snowflakes are more golden in color and have turned a bit stripey themselves. They have dark golden stripes where they cross stripes of glass that have reacted more strongly with silver.

Round fused glass pendant with silver plated bail and orange cord, about 4.1cm or 1 5/8"in diameter, nestled among green leaves of a plant.
Base of the pendant is a round piece of white opalescent (non-transparent) glass. 
the base is covered by small glass spheres of various sizes (up to 1/4") which have been partially fused to the base (and should remind you of raindrops on leaves and flowers after the rain). Spheres in the center are clear, but there are transparent yellow spheres close to the bail, opalescent sunflower yellow ones along bottom left edge, and transparent pink along bottom right edge of the pendant. Border between colorful and clear spheres is made of spheres which have one half clear and the other is in yellow or pink. These spheres are arranged so that there is a clear demarcation line between area in color and area in clear glass so that areas in color have a shape of petals.
I am sorry that this is such a clunky explanation.

Flower is on the white background, and around that is irregular lime green area with an orange streak on one side. Lime green area is again outlined with a dark line due to chemical reaction. Outside of that area is turquiose blue, and the edges and base of the pendant is medium forest green color.
