Prairie Prism aka: Milk and Honey

Inspiration: neutral colors in a fluid design. 

Artistic Process:  The first step was cutting multiple layers of different glasses with shards of glass on top in a specific pattern inside a stainless steel round mold as a dam to contain the glass.  Using a specific program to ramp up and hold the heat in the kiln to spread and stretch the glass to create a unique design. After coldworking the edges,  I then made an interesting complementary same shape of glass of a larger diameter as the base to make an interesting background.  I made a similar smaller version that was tacked fused onto the front for more depth and interest. 

The glass stand is made of 2 layers of complementary glass fused together and then kilnformed into shape with cold working to ensure the bottom is level and sturdy. 

Dimensions:  11.5" wide x 13.5"tall x 11" deep
