PDV nuggets and slices
Posted: Sat Dec 15, 2007 9:16 am
Hi
I tried to make my first large piece of pate de verre since class with Marc an Ellen and it didn't turn out as I wanted. So since I had some nice looking glass in an ugly shape I sliced and diced and cold worked it till I took off half of one of my fingernails and abraded both my thumbs
The results are below. I really like the nuggets they remind me of watermelon tourmaline. I sold several of them on Etsy already.
I did get my first large piece fired and I plan to spend the morning trying to get the plaster out and hope that my bottom glass is thick enough. It is a rectangluar vessel done in a one piece mold. I'll post picture of it when it's out.
