Sky Blue Glass Art Ornament, Handmade Light Blue and Crystal Clear Textured Glass Wave, Minimalist Blue Shelf Ornament, Blue Bathroom Décor

An abstract light blue glass art wave handcrafted in the Lake District; inspired by the natural landscape.

The minimalist wave ornament (s-curved panel) was handmade from transparent sky blue and crystal clear artisan glass.

It is approximately 23 cm (L) x 6 cm (H) x 3 cm (D).

The textured nature of the clear glass adds additional visual (and tactile) interest.

It is a stand-alone piece of glass art suitable for display on any flat surface, such as a mantlepiece, bathroom shelf or windowsill.

If placed in front of a window or other direct light source, the translucent nature of the wave allows light to shine through and reflect colour onto the surrounding surfaces.

It could be used in the evening as a table or shelf decoration with a tealight or small candle behind it.

A little more about THE HANDCRAFTED PROCESS: In order to create the wave, I first cut sky blue artisan sheet glass (by hand) into the desired shape. I then placed the coloured glass on a clear glass base and added crystal clear glass frit (crushed glass). After assembling the piece, it was placed in the kiln and subjected to a contour fuse. This allowed the individual pieces to fuse together but still retain some of their original shape and texture. The fused panel was then cold-worked and fired once more. Next, it was placed in another kiln on top of a ceramic mould and fired a final time to shape the piece into a s-curve.

PACKAGING: All items will be securely wrapped in bubble wrap and posted in a well padded box. Although not always feasible, whenever possible, I attempt to reuse packaging in order to reduce the environmental impact.
