Fantasy, a Colorful Cane Lacy Vase

This vase has patterns of glass cane in several shades of green, purple, blue, and orange along with a lacy rim of the same colors. 

It will be a beautiful and unique addition to any home décor.  It also makes a special, unique, artisan made gift. 

The artistic process:  I started by making cane by making the color patterned design in a deep stainless steel container and put in my kiln that raises up with a kiln floor that has a hole in the floor.  As the kiln heats, the glass flows through the hole in the kiln floor.  As it flows, I pull the glass to make a certain size cylinder cane and Vitrigraph.   After the cane cool.  I cut it into 3/8" or so pieces and then design into patterns and fire them into artwork.   After the first design, I decided the back of the glass need more interest and added a glass full of swirls of green, orange and white and fired to the bottom and fired to thin the glass a bit as well.  I then added ground glass along the edges and fired to a tack fuse to create the lacy rim.  The final step was to drape the glass over a stainless steel cone shape to create this unique shaped vase.  This requires precision placement and opening the kiln once it hits a certain temperature to watch the progress and flashing cooling once its draped the way I want.
