Next up, the Bismarck Art and Galleries Christmas show.Artists may submit up to two pieces at a time to the show; all are for sale.
When a piece sells, it can be replaced with another, and so forth
.
For the two pieces to begin, I plan to show "Sun Flower" and "Twirling Stars." Both are my original designs.
"Sun Flower" is built on a base of ribbed clear glass, with a frame of amber and gold. The large "sun" is an amber glass jewel, which can also be read as the center of a "sun flower." T
he vines to right and left
are embellished with hex nuts and wing nuts in flower shapes.
The "petals" or "rays" are created by turning the ribbed glass to different angles to crosshatch against the background.
"Twirling Stars" is a composition of cobalt and violet with touches of green. Seven stars are intertwined and appear to be in mid-turn against a swirling background of clear-and-green.
