Finished pieces and some progress

BY SOFÍA HERNÁNDEZ ROMO

“Golden Sakura” Cherry tree branches. Each branch is made of bent brass wire, and at the end of those wires, are fused glass flowers with gold enamel details painted in the center. The whole branch is then installed inside a pipe, that is inside a perforation in the base, made of Basalto volcanic stone, hand carved by San Juan Evangelista artisans.

2nd test

1st test

Trying to find the right color match since there was no purple like the one I wanted available where I buy glass. I still have some other options to try for this 4 pieces.

Also we are looking at a difference in shine, because in the firts test I used more frit to cover the back. In the second one it was almost only very fine frit (almost powder).

It seems that I didn’t control the quantity of purple in the second test well enough for it to cover enough not to let show the white behind it.
