Description
This framed picture features an everlasting bouquet of different shades of red – give a gift of flowers that last forever!
These floral art pieces are created in several steps. First, the background stems are hand-painted with glass enamel and go into the kiln to fix the enamel. Then, inspired by methods of putting together displays for a few years working as a florist, this is decorated with hand placed individual pieces of frit (glass granules), carefully selected for size and shape. A piece of shaped clear glass is added to represent the vase. These squares are then fired to a textured fuse in one my specialist, digitally controlled glass fusing kilns and annealed (cooled in a controlled way) for strength and durability. It then goes back into the kiln for a third time to attach the smaller piece to the base glass, which is usually subtly shaded with background colour to add a bit of extra depth and dimension.
The frame:
In black, it is made from ‘polcore’, a recycled material to bring out the bright florals.
In wood, this is pine, stained with oak bri-wax to bring out the grain in the wood and warm tone to match décor.
The frame can either be wall hung, or because of it’s depth, it will stand freely. The frame aperture is approx 13cm square and 2.5cm deep (5″ x 1″)
All pieces are unique and made by hand in the studio in Derbyshire.
