This is after I had cut all the glass pieces and laid out the design loosely so that Seabrook could see the direction I was heading. He said - KEEP GOING - and I did! I always work with my commission customers including them in the process by submitting original sketches or "laid out" designs of what I have in mind. Including the stages of the process adds more meaning as it takes quite a bit of time creating glass art.
Just laying out the vines or stems of the design.
These were all of the sunflower petals that were cut foiled, smoothed out, fluxed and then soldered into the design.
2013 will mark my 13th year working with glass. My third year in painting. I push the envelope as far as what I can create with both mediums. Good things happen when glass breaks or mistakes happen...from there more is beautifully and meaningfully revealed.
