An abstract sea blue glass art ornament handcrafted in the Lake District.
The freestanding curve was handmade from transparent sea blue and crystal clear artisan glass. The sea blue glass is a beautiful blue colour with subtle green undertones – reminiscent of the ocean.
It is approximately 13.5 cm (W) x 10 cm (H) x 4.5 cm (D).
The textured nature of the clear glass adds additional visual and tactile interest.
It is a gorgeous piece of glass art suitable for display on any flat surface, such as a mantlepiece, bathroom shelf or windowsill.
The curve looks particularly stunning placed in front of a window or other direct light source, as the translucent nature of the glass allows light to shine through and reflect colour onto the surrounding surfaces.
It could be used in the evening as a table or shelf decoration with a tealight or small votive candle placed behind it.
***As each curve is individually handcrafted, there will be some variation from the images shown. Please message me if you would like to see a photo of the actual curve priortopurchase.
A little more about THE HANDCRAFTED PROCESS: In order to create the curve, I first cut transparent sea blue sheet glass (by hand) into the desired shapes. (The glass was cut in a way to mimic the flow of water). I then placed this glass on a clear glass base and added crystal clear glass frit (crushed glass). After assembling the piece, it was placed in the kiln and subjected to a contour fuse. This allowed the individual pieces to fuse together but still retain some of their original shape and texture. The glass panel was then cold-worked before being fired once more. It was then placed in another kiln on top of a ceramic mould and fired a final time to shape the piece into a curve.
PACKAGING: All items will be securely wrapped in bubble wrap and posted in a well padded box. Although not always feasible, whenever possible I attempt to reuse packaging in order to reduce the environmental impact.
