Prairie Scene -- in progress




This piece will depict (I hope) a typical
Prairie scene... with prairie grasses in the fore-
ground and farm fields in the background.
For the grasses, I started by 'painting'
some frit onto the glass (CMC and glass
powder applied with a squeeze bottle.

I have used a candle to bend some glass
stringers which I will place on the piece
and glue down with hairspray (works great).
                                                                                                                           



The background will be created on a second piece of glass.
More to come......
