2006 - 03 "copper encrusted meteor"

Posted by Andrew Brown on 3/14/2006
 Featured by Robert Koch Glass
This paperweight looks and feels like it fell from space. Frits and powders were used to create the many layers of yellow, blue, red , and organic tan. The piece was coldworked to reveal the blooming space lotus on the inside. The lotus style implosion holds a large white pear shaped gilson opal in the center. The outside has been coldworked to a smooth finish and then electroformed with copper. The heavily textured copper ranges in color from metallic red to a shimmering blue. This piece measures 2.25"
