"Plain" because there's no silver in it....but I still love it. Such vibrant colors - so pretty.
These pieces are made from scraps. I just lay down a piece of black glass, put the tiny little pieces of scrap dichroic on that, then a layer of clear glass on top, and fire. They all fuse together, leaving some really interesting designs.
And interesting shapes. Now, I could grind these and fire polish again - which I actually do on a lot of my pieces, but I liked the way these fired the first time, so I'm leaving them alone.
It's probably like everything else in art - when is enough, enough? I keep thinking, I could refire with a piece of silver on top....I could cut, grind and shape.....I could fuse 2 pieces together to make a bigger piece....it just never ends! So, for now, these pieces are "done".

Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteLoving these! Doesn't it sometimes surprise you, how some of the most beautiful pieces are made from scraps and throw aways?
Awesome!
