Whimsical Desert

Summer 2020

Three free-form fused cactus designs created by combining layers of glass for the bases. The cactus bodies are then decorated with glass dots, murrine, stringer scraps in various colors and glass flowers that are glued onto the cactus bodies and dimensionally fired in the kiln to retail a three-dimensional look. A dimensional firing schedule is provided. This article was originally published on page 54 in the Summer 2020 issue of Glass Patterns Quarterly®.
