More Error than Trial

This is the first piece from the kiln. I was trying to use the copper leaf as a mold but the glass fused itself to the copper. I do like the way it looks - and for not knowing what I am truly doing not bad. This piece was sold Dec. 6, 2010

Bonneville or Bust

Well never made it to Bonneville due to family matters - ended up in Santa Fe, NM during Indian Market. It was incredible - all the galleries - the art and of course the food. It was truly remarkable to see all the artist showing off their work and willing to talk about not only their art but about themselves.
