started this piece well before Hurricane Sandy, but as the piece was drying and Hurricane Sandy hit, the piece took on a whole new meaning. My husband spent his childhood summers in Ocean City, New Jersey and it holds a special place in his heart. He also has relatives who have been driven from their home because of Sandy and will not be able to return for several months. It's a reminder of how fortunate we are and how that could change at any time.
I put some pieces of stained glass at the base of the house, and in the kiln the glass bubbled up and ran down the side - reminds me of the houses which were flooded in the storm.
I've never tried glass on the side of a piece only in the bottom of a bowl, afraid I'd ruin my shelves. I love these especially since one can look through one side and see out the other, hope on the other side.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda! I used a small amount of glass and it is a tall piece. I was confident that it wouldn't run all the way down. You're correct though - do have to be mindful of that.
