ole'!!

ole! is a special piece ready for a celebration.  guacamole, tostadas and of course tequila with lime resting on a celebratory plate.  the guacamole, tostadas and tequila are created with a special type of pate de verre glass. the pate de verre pieces are life size for a tortilla and a shot glass with a lime slice.

pink coral

of all of the wonderful colors of coral, pink coral is my favorite.  the oceany glass with the mix of aquamarine and emerald creates a wonderful playground for the pink coral.

the bubble wrap was used when I was moving the pieces between locations yet given the objects washed up on our beaches right now, it seems somewhat apropos so I did not remove it from the photographs.

silver pieces

discs of silver leaf reacting to the sulfur in the red glass creating the black outlines and crackles.  kilns, like most ovens, do not heat evenly.  the location of the most heat yields the strongest reactions.

reaction flow
this piece demonstrates a reaction from fusing glass sensitive to copper yielding the prune color surrounding the cyan.  the cyan in the middle was sufficiently thick so the top layer maintained the original cyan color.
