This piece was created by my wife, JoAnn as she worked toward advanced degrees in Art. She modeled the shape in wax, invested it in mold material and melted the wax out. She named the piece "loops". Crushed glass and tinted resin was then placed in the hollow mold. The hard work started when the resin/glass in the full mold had completely set.
After the mold was ground away, hours were spent smoothing the surface. The embedded glass made this a tedious process but the resultant surface was worth it. It has a depth and sheen with several spots of clear resin that provides transparency into the piece. The color graduatiom from light at the top to dark in the bottom is complemented by the black stone base.
