New Golden Girl, Violets, a Glass Menagerie.

Here is our new cast glass gold girl box. The figure is kiln-cast glass using the lost wax method, sitting on a mahogany box. She turned out lovely, I think.
Below,  our new cast glass flower box: purple and green glass in a lost-wax cast box that took A LONG TIME to make- all those little petals and leaves in wax. Luckily, it worked out and is absolutely stunning. This will get a wood base and a glass top much like our rose box.  Also below, one of  our new glass cats, in orange. This will sit on an aquarium box, I think, with etched glass fish, so he's reaching down to catch them. I personally dislike cats, but they do lend themselves to glass.

And below, one more cast glass cat (this will be sandblasted white) and an abstract-ish horse (also to be sandblasted white). Animals and more animals this week out of the Beachwalker kiln.
