Artistic Process: The first step was to make a large mosaic of small pieces of dichroic glass are carefully put together on a background of black glass and fired in the kiln to full fuse.  I then cut the music note shape with a glass ring saw and then fire polished to shine in the kiln.   

The music note is epoxied to a stand that was made by cutting three pieces for varying sizes and tack fusing them into the stand. 

3.675" tall x 2" wide x 1.25" deep

Making music notes was inspired while I was playing the piano.  I was learning a new piece that was complex for me.  The music notes were staring back at me.  All of a sudden, I started thinking about the concept of a music note sculpture.  I immediately went to my studio to test out the idea and continue to refine the design as well as creating various color patterns.

  • Dichroic glass - Thin layers of metallic oxides, such as titanium, silicon, and magnesium are deposited upon the surface of the glass in a high temperature, vacuum furnace. This creates a brilliant coating on the glass that displays more than one color, especially when viewed from different angles.
