Reds, Black and White Swirls Music Note Sculpture

Artistic Process: The design features an abstract of red, flame, black and white swirls and patterns.  The first step was to create the colorful swirls and patterned glass kilnfired in a thick form.  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 from the same patterned glass. 

Dimensions: 5" tall x 3.75" wide x 1.375" deep

Making music notes was inspired while I was playing the piano.  I was learning a new piece that was 5complex 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.
