Artwork Description:

HERE A CLOSER, MORE CONCENTRATED VIEW OF DETAIL IN GLASS HUES AND FORMS.. THIS PIECE IS NOT FLAT'AS FLAT'.. YOU FEEL THE GLASS STONES ADDED, BEADS.. MULTI LAYERS OF COLORED GLASS POWDER, PERMANENTLY SET IN KILNS HEAT.. IS AMAZING TO SEE, THAT WHEN YOU TAKE IT OUT OF THE KILN, IT IS GLOWING RED- LIKE IF YOU LOOK IN HOTTTTT PULSATING FURNACE.. PIECE BREATHES... WE PUT IT IN ON A METAL STAND, CAREFULLY SLIDE A SHOVEL LIKE TOOL UNDER THAT, TO PLACE IT IN THE GLOWING HOT KILN.. OVER 1700 DEGREES OFTEN.. AND WE TAKE IT OUT SAME WAY.. THEN TIP IT OVER ON MARBLE BOARD, AND IF NECCESSARY, FLATTEN IT WITH HEAVY METAL CAST PLATE (HAS HANDLE).. IT WILL COOL OFF QUICKLY THERE.. AND THEN CREATIVE PROCESS CAN CONTINUE.. FUNNY TO ME IS, WHEN IT COMES OUT, AND YOU DROP IT REAL QUICK ON THE MARBLE BLOCK, IT LOOKS AND SOUNDS LIKE PLASTIC -THEN IT SETTLES IN TO COOL AND THE HUES AND FORMS BREAK THROUGH.. DOES THAT, UNTIL COMPLETELY COOLED OFF.. BOY, DO I LOVE THESE GLOWING RED HUED PIECES.. SUCH INCREDIBLE COLORED STUNNING ENERGY.. ONLY BURNT MY FINGERS ONCE, WHEN I TOUCHED IT TOO EARLY, TO SEE, IF IT IS COOL ENOUGH TO 'HANDLE'.. WAS FOREWARNED BY OUR GREAT TECH, DOLLY.. BUT.. LEARNED RIGHT THERE.. KNOW OF OTHERS, WHO BURNED THEIR SLEEVES,HANDS.. NOT TAKING CARE OF RULES.. FOR ME TOO HOT FOR MY SKIN IN FACE.. AND PIECES VERY HEAVY.. BUT THE GENTLEMEN, MOSTLY GLENN BRIGGS, THE GREAT GLASS WHIZZ.. AND AUTHOR OF A UNIQUE ORIGINAL, WITH GREAT ARTWORKS, INSIGHT AND HUMOR AS WELL AS LOVE FOR CATS, CAT BOOK. GLASS STUDIO, AS I CALL IT, SINCE THE GREAT PLACE HAS BESIDES SEVERAL DIFFERENT SIZED AND HEAT KILNS, PLUS EVERYTHING ONE COULD WANT TO CREATE IN, IS FINE PLACE FOR DOING OWN CREATIONS.. OWN SPACE AND PACE.. IS WHAT I NEED.. would still like to work on middle a little..
