Glass Spam

sharelleAnd now some spam of a different type. It's been a while since I posted one of these, but I'm almost finished with my latest glass project and I thought I'd like to start posting pictures of them again.
I don't think I've done this one yet, and it just happens to be one of which I'm especially proud.
I'd wanted to do a piece with ballet shoes for a long time (since I'd taken dance for 11 years), but I couldn't find a pattern that I really liked. Therefore, the following is one of the few pieces that I've ever done completely from scratch, without simply adapting from another pattern. (Those of you who saw my pig drawing from my previous post can probably understand why.) So, I used an actual photograph of my own ballet shoes, and then the Sensei helped me Photoshop it into a pattern.
It's probably one of my favorites that I've ever done. (1. Because the pattern turned out really cool; 2. Because the solder beaded almost perfectly; and 3. Because I did the textured clear background all in one continuous sheet. That meant no breaking! Whee!)
I've included pictures taken both with and without a flash. (It highlights the colors and the textured clear differently, and I liked that.)
