For those who would like a little info on the process I use, here is the nutshell version. Each is first formed in wax, either by hand or in a mold. (I used three molds from a series of bronze figures I had made earlier, then sculpted the wax further to make each a unique piece.) The wax models are encased in casting mold material and the wax is melted out. The empty molds are put in a kiln and heated, along with glass chunks, until the glass melts and fills the molds. Once annealed and cooled the molds are carefully broken away. The resulting work is always a surprise - a collaboration between artist, process and materials.
