water dragon

[solarbird]

In Monday’s post about clearing out my old glass art studio, I mentioned a completed piece called Water Dragon. A reader on Dreamwidth asked for a photo. This is a phone photo, and the piece is very dusty in it; I’d clean it up, of course, before any sort of handoff:

I want the unclaimed pieces out, so like I said, make an offer.

Eee! Do like!

Is it moisture-sensitive? (I'm thinking about hanging it on a bathroom wall.)

I happen to have a $50 B&N gift card that I discovered in a pile of mail the other day. Would you be interested in that as trade, or did the materials cost more?

I'll be in the Seattle area for the first two weeks of July, so I could pick it up. :)

It's glass - entirely glass, no metals or plastics this time - assembled using marine-grade silicon glue. I like to think you could clean it with a garden hose. So I would think it'd be fine, unless you have the kind of dampness where you're routinely cleaning mildew off walls.

I don't think I'd want to use my usual bolted-plexi in front of it, though. The bolts... I mean, in theory, they'd be okay? But I'm ... a little iffy on it. Because metal and things which aren't supposed to rust but half the time do anyway. But I'd include the white painted ply backboard - the one it's against in the photo - because I'm confident that would be okay.

Picking it up and trading for the B&N card would be just fine. The most expensive part of this one would've been the art glass used as the backplane - that's about $20 worth of specialty glass right there - but none of the rest is expensive. Lots of labour, because placing all those tiny pieces of safety glass is crazymaking. But not much in materials.

I'm out of town a lot those weeks for shows, so we'll need to schedule. Contact me through the contact page and we can set that up. ^_^

That is pretty!

Thank you ^_^

It seems like it must be difficult to work non-abstractly in this medium; do you have other representational pieces?

[solarbird]

Crystalships is somewhat so. The photograph isn't very good but at least it's photographed. It's just not representational of a scene on this planet. Shorebreak is a little bit so, too - think ice floes, because that's what I was thinking.

Cool, thanks for sharing!
