Sketches to Art

I thought I would show you how my sketches and designs turn into pieces of art.

Meditating with Stanley (The Cat)

I have started on my new glass art, I have decided to call it Meditating with Stanley (The Cat).

With every piece my first step is drawing a quick sketch (I used the women from my Sun and Moon Piece)

I start my glass art by drawing out my design on card and using copper wire.
I bend and cut the wire to shape, in this case to make the face and cat.

I then start adding coloured pieces of glass to form my design.
Once I have finished placing all the pieces on it is ready for the kiln.

This is now the finished piece of artwork - Meditating with Stanley (The Cat)

From sketch to art

The finished piece outside in an exhibition - I think it really shows the fantastic colours this way.
