This is a handcrafted kiln fused stained glass window of flowers measuring approximately 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches made by us, Lawrence and Audrey Goldsmith (LJG&AAG). It has a drilled hole on the top for easy hanging in a window or on a wall. It is signed and dated by us with a glass engraving tool. The photos do not capture the full beauty of the brilliance and sparkling quality of the glass. It is done in an impressionist style and was made in many stages. First we cut a special clear fusible glass and drilled the hole and then used small pieces of stained glass on the top of the clear glass base to create the design of the piece. We then kiln fused it, bringing the temperature to approximately 1400 degrees before annealing it (cooling it slowly in the kiln). It is lightfast and waterproof. This is an original work of art. No two pieces of ours are exactly alike. This multistep process has taken us many years to perfect to our satisfaction and we feel that we have our own original approach to glass fusing. The size is the same as ACEO (Art Cards Editions Originals) which many people collect and are more often done on paper by eBay artists. We encourage other glass artists to try their hand at glass fusing and to keep their ideas unique and original. We are a husband and wife team working together in fine glass and separately on individual fine art pieces for over 40 years. We are long term members of Ohio Designer Craftsmen. Please feel free to email us with any questions. We guarantee all of our artwork. Thank you.
