Marigold Beach

Marigold and vanilla stripes divide an ocean of the most delicious combination of transparent green and turquoise glasses swirled together. Atop the heavenly blue-green sea, I’ve floated dozens of squares of thin vanilla glass, each with a wee thread of black glass on top. Positioned atop the transparent glass, you can see them casting them a shadow through to the opaque bottom.

Wide bands of clear glass separate the blue-green quadrants from the marigold and vanilla stripes, emphasizing the transparent nature of the material. Nestled in the vanilla stripes, blocks of soft, wavy vanilla are surrounded by clear glass, providing a window through the bowl. The underside of the bowl is a crisp white with a scatter of graphic black lines. Fused, cold worked, and slumped with a gentle rise in the middle.
