Jellyfish Chandelier

(Glass Sculptures)

Jellyfish Chandelier Laurie's first ever big venture into boro resulted in this! We both love scuba diving and get a lot of inspiration from the sea, as well as illustrated books on natural history.
Her expertise is in pate de verre, casting and really just about every aspect of kiln working glass,so the bell of the jelly is made using a combination of pate de verre and lost wax casting. The tentacles (I didn't actually count them, but there's a lot) she worked in boro at the flame, a huge amount of work with what relatively little teaching she's had so far. We also neglected to measure it before it went into the gallery, it's approximately 140cm long and the bell is about 40cm diameter.

thanks
thanks for the positive feedback- its got me excited to actually learn what Im doing- Boro is a lot different from casting soda :) It sure helps to have Chris working across the table and be able to check over my work for me. Its pretty funny, all the tentacles go in a progression of what he is teaching me.. simple dots to a single ruffle to a double ruffle to an octapus sort of a thing...great fun!And then hang them all together.. Only problem is he has told me I need to make something a little smaller next time....
