Artist's Comments

(2008) 16'' x 16", mirror tile, mirror lacquer, stained glass (black opaque, grey opal, blue opal, caramel alabaster), copper foil, lead solder, glass etching fluid

Well, time for a little something else. I had wanted to experiment with some glass etching fluid, so I transferred a celtic knotwork pattern on a mirror tile by stopping out the liquid with transparent foil cut with a craft knife, used the same technique on four opaque black glass circles for a spiral pattern and then assembled the overall design using traditional tiffany glass technqiue.

The knotwork pattern on the mirror is based on a design from Bradley W. Schenck. "Celtic Knotwork Borders".

Wow - und wieder einmal eine tolle Idee umgesetzt :clap:
Du wagst Dich sogar an Fluss-Sauere? Oder womit hast Du das Glas geaetzt?
Das Ergebnis ist jedenfalls umwerfend :bow:

Sag mal, wieviel Stunden hat Dein Tag eigentlich? Meine Schwester und ich haben schon darueber spekuliert, wie Du es schaffst - neben Deinem Job - so ungeheuer viele, bis ins letzte Detail durchdachte Arbeiten tatsaechlich umzusetzen.
(Wir haben staendig das Gefuehl, nie genug Zeit zur Verfuegung zu haben)

Ich ziehe jedenfalls den Hut - auch fuer alle Arbeiten, die bisher unkommentiert waren meinerseits - Du bringst mich oft so zum Staunen, dass mir die Worte fehlen... bitte nimm es als Kompliment
:bow: :bow: :bow:
