Back to the Wizard and Dragon

Finally home from winter sojourn and getting back to the Wizard and Dragon - still sitting on my work table.  I'm pretty happy with the fused piece.  Next step is to plan the foreground and background.  The foreground needs some rocks -- and because the Wizard is standing on one and the Dragon is behind some -- needed to create some perspective.  I did this by fusing 2 layers of glass together to create thicker rocks or by foiling together 2 or 3 layers.
Now for the background.  It has taken a few days to cut and fit the pieces together.



Next step will be to finish the background and border, install the zinc frame, foil and solder all the pieces together -- and finally to patina the copper seams with black patina and polish the finishe piece.
