Artwork Description:

Put gum on the copper pipe in middle, which I prepared just for this purpose last wednesday.. then chose aqua blue crushed glass powder, turquoise glass powder .. all transparent hues.. 'dusted' quite heavily the with gum covered copper pipe.. made sure, at bottom enough, so the copper pipe would stay on fused permanently in liquid heated glass, once cooled off.. also designed formes for enhancement of previous.. net like forms.. and you notice around yellow spaces.. and around part of outline.. back is still beautiful orange sunset red.. well and then let it dry.. because the gum under glass powder dissolves in heat and disappears.. so it dries.. holds the crushed colored glass in place and that's it.. 3 hours just for this little part.. well.. I worked on the big one too.. the beautiful blue, which had hairline cracks (nobody noticed, but I on original).. it will have a brand new 'face'.. you will see.. I will upload later.
