Mixing media





Ideas can come out of accidents. I'd made some pate de verre squares to use as inclusions in the sandcasting we were doing on Thursday afternoon. So in the morning I thought I would pick up one of them (pre-heated up to temperature) on the end of a bubble, wrap it round, case it in clear glass and open it out into a bowl. Jake took pictures - and the sheer stage fright spurred me on to get it more or less right. But the real point is -- and the pictures don't show it -- that it is a new effect and I could do something really quite interesting with it. I plan to have another go next week.
