Colorful Melted Weave Music Note Sculpture

Dimensions: 6.375" tall x 4.5" wide x 2.75" deep

Artistic Process: The design features melted weaves.  The first step was to take some test weave pieces and combine into a dammed shaped and fired until they were all melted into a thick shape.   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 ground smooth all the edges and then it was fire polished in the kiln.  The music note is epoxied to the stand that was made of the same glass. 

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.
