Did you see our other small birds, and the penguins? (#K3)- The artist masks the surface of cold glass that has been hand blown in colours to specifications, then draws into it the image. The masking is then selectively removed using this outline as a guide. Over many stages, using varying air pressure, the artist painstakingly creates the most beautifully detailed designs of nature and wildlife. This starts with a specially blown vessel ‘blank’ (with several layers of glass, each of a different colour). Using an engraving wheel, portions of the outer layers are slowly and selectively carved back to reveal a multi-coloured design standing proud of the surface. The effect is something like a finely carved ivory tableau against a subtle translucent coloured glass background.
