This is one of the windows for Saint Giles, things have started to get heartily smashed up now. One of the wheels fell off the circular saw so a glass peice I blew got broken......I really love those breaky noises. I use bashed up frits to fill in the gaps. I was trying to line everything up together before but have found the effect and the outcome to be better when things are allowed to overlap. I made a rather wonky pink plate as well, that got completely smashed and layered up together. I used some circles from the broken vessel and filled them up with some of the smashed up parts from when the overlay is done in the hotshop. I call this technique Scroll Graal as I'm following the swedish overlay taught to me by Ingrid Phillips. I then flatten the vessels out in the kiln so that I can work into them using engraving or sandblasting, like unfolding a scroll. They are then fused back together. Once again making something whole out of broken or dissociated parts. I 'm looking forward to turning them back into vessels at some time soon.
