Purple, Grey and Black melt Music Note Sculpture

Purple, Grey and Black melt Music Note Sculpture

6.375" tall x 4.5" wide x 2.75" deep

The design features an abstract of purple, grey and black patterns.  The first step was to recreate the swirls of each color and then cut them into smaller pieces and then to combine to make the glass/design.  The next step was to draw the design onto the glass with a waterproof marker then cut out on my ring saw.  Once I finished sawing, I grinded smooth all the edges and then it was fire polished in the kiln.  The music note is epoxied to the stand that was made by cutting three pieces for varying sizes and tack fusing them into the stand.  

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.
