'SUMMER TIME' FUSED GLASS PICTURE.
Each one of my pictures is completely original. They are individually handmade to ensure that no two can be the same. It is my love for what I do that drives me to create my pictures. I can never be completely sure how a painting will look when it comes out of the kiln, but it is always a pleasant surprise.
'Summer Time'started off being
a transparent sheet of bullseye glass. I then built upon it putting on the
different coloured layers, glass, fibre paper, frit, dichroic glass, glass paint and coloured
glass sheet. Once the image is carefully tidied up, the glass picture is fused
in a kiln. The firing of the picture takes up to 24 hours as the kiln must be
cooled very gradually to avoid breaking the fusing glass.
The wooden backing has
picture hooks on the reverse so it is ready to hang.
Each picture is signed and
dated on the reverse.
