What a wonderful artist Michelle is! After meeting with us initially to better understand what we had in mind for the transom window, she prepared several artist drawings with suggested themes. Every one was a possibility that we could have been pleased with. With her talent it made it difficult to decide. We settled on one, then changed to another, and finally after incorporating elements from more than one, and with further changes and additions we finally settled on what has become a work of art in the 6' wide arched transom window above our 8' front doors. It incorporates elements of the family's heritage with a truly wonderful rondel at it's center.
This piece features a technique which requires the glass to be brought up to 1700 degrees. When the glass is in a near molten stage, I open the kiln and draw a metal rake across the surface of the glass creating the swirling movement you see in the dragon. I used the raked glass as the focal point of the larger fused glass piece. It includes a variety of glass including dichroic and iridescent. The fused glass is framed with copper which is formed around the piece and then securely set in a slate base which is framed in mahogany.
