Cartouche
The dark iridized colors and the sand carved design create mystery in this beautiful tray.
Karla created this piece by first fusing a blank of dark glass with a rainbow iridized top surface.
She then created and applied a mask to the top of the blank. She then carved the exposed glass with a sand blast process.
After the mask was removed and the piece cleaned, it was put through the kiln again to slump and seal the etched areas.
A long process, but a beautiful result.
