{"url":"https://folksy.com/items/8157457-fused-glass-botanical-curve---handmade-glass-sculpture","title":"Fused Glass Botanical Curve - Handmade Glass Sculpture","price":65.0,"currency_code":"GBP","provider_name":"Folksy","description":"Fused glass freestanding piece, inspired by my love of the flowers that grow in my garden. I've used pinks and lilac coloured glass in this piece, all on a transparent glass background. This would make a lovely gift and looks lovely either on a mantelpiece or shelf, or on a window sill.\r\n\r\nTo make this piece I cut transparent art glass into 2 identical shapes and trapped handcut copper stems between the layers. This is then slowly fused in my kiln overnight to form a solid clear base. I then cut and shaped art glass in tones of pink, lilac and green and arranged onto the pre-fired background. I then added dichroic glass dots to add interest to the design. This all goes back into the kiln for a second slow overnight firing at a lower temperature to tack fuse the flowers onto the transparent background. This lower temperature means the flowers, stem and petals stand slightly proud of the glass, to give it a slightly 3D effect. When completely cooled, I then put the piece into the kiln a third time to slowly slump it over a ceramic mould, giving it it's freestanding curve shape.\r\n\r\nSize approx: 12cm by 6cm by 10cm.\r\n\r\nItem comes securely packaged and wrapped in my signature turquoise tissue paper, sticker and string. A gift message can be included, just contact me to let me know.\r\n\r\nHandmade by me, Bex Burston\r\nBlue Design Shed - Fused Glass and Textile Art, Designed and Made in Cambridge","brand":"Blue Design Shed - Fused Glass \u0026 Textile Art","product_id":8157457,"availability":"in stock","quantity":1,"product_expiration":"2026-06-21T14:05:21+00:00","images":["https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-bcd4c5a4-3418-43ff-8fbb-77ab1b45126b-Fused-Glass-Flower-Curve-Handmade-Glass-Sculpture-Blue-Design-Shed-Fused-Glass-Textile-Art/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-5382f68d-542e-4736-9446-36692a63103b-fused-glass-botanical-curve-handmade-glass-sculpture-blue-design-shed-fused-glass--textile-art/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-0b2c809f-3597-47dd-a831-d9e3818164b0-fused-glass-botanical-curve-handmade-glass-sculpture-blue-design-shed-fused-glass--textile-art/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-d3697868-f54e-49cb-9d6e-986fea75b936-fused-glass-botanical-curve-handmade-glass-sculpture-blue-design-shed-fused-glass--textile-art/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-bdbf2641-60c6-4145-ae68-9a179f840e2a-fused-glass-botanical-curve-handmade-glass-sculpture-blue-design-shed-fused-glass--textile-art/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-1c377950-38f6-4b77-af59-f548e88b0a5c-fused-glass-botanical-curve-handmade-glass-sculpture-blue-design-shed-fused-glass--textile-art/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-ac0f3ca8-0398-4f51-a36a-eee83a62a7fb-fused-glass-botanical-curve-handmade-glass-sculpture-blue-design-shed-fused-glass--textile-art/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-94c27342-d5cb-4ff5-80eb-b21e07c3f2c4-fused-glass-botanical-curve-handmade-glass-sculpture-blue-design-shed-fused-glass--textile-art/public"]}
