SWMBO is the formal musician in the house - I can't read a note of music.
The Framed Coloured Keys piece featured elsewhere in the shop inspired this piece - they sort of go together.
Please note that the electric candle and the micro-brick instruments featured in the photos are not included in the sale - they are just props.

Full description
I can't claim the kudos for this project - it was made by SWMBO.
This Fused Glass Wave features the music for a well known tune. No prizes for guessing which one though - sorry.
It measures approximately 20 cm x 10.5 cm with a double wave that's about 2.5 cm deep.
It's suitable as a stand-alone ornament - it's perfectly stable and doesn't need a stand - or you could put a night-light behind it.
It was quite a lengthy project to build as it required 3 firings in the kiln.
The stars were cut from thin copper foil and were sandwiched between two sheets of clear glass that had been hand-cut to shape. The coloured staves are made from thin glass rods called Stringers. These were positioned on top of the glass sandwich before firing for a full fuse to give a smooth finish.
The notes are made from dots clipped from a glass rod, with short stringers. Once the piece had cooled, the notes were carefully positioned and held in place using Aloe Vera gel (which burns away in the kiln without leaving a residue). This time we used a tac fuse to securely stick the notes to the flat sheet glass.
When the piece had cooled again, it was placed over a ceramic mould and fired for a slump fuse, which gave it its final wave shape. That's a total of around 24 hours in the kiln!
