CAST GLASS ARTICHOKE, PEPPER & BAS RELIEF FLOWERS

After 2 days in the kilns, my cast glass experiments see daylight.  I spent  about 5 hours grinding the edges and backs to finish the pieces. Twenty years ago I cast an artichoke and numerous peppers in bronze; today I cast artichoke halves and a pepper in glass.  There is a thrill here.  Molten glass taking shape and becoming an object.  There is a primeval fascination and satisfaction in working with glass.
