After successfully exhibiting at the Waverley Woollahra Art Show I have begun a new series of 'glass etchings' featuring views of Sydney Harbour. I expect there to be about twelve in total all showing off the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House.
They are really time consuming as the fusible glass paint has to be applied using a modified (cake) icing bag onto a piece of Spectrum 96 clear. This is then place on top of a solid coloured opal piece and fused overnight. Once fused the piece is framed though there is no need for a cover glass of course but still the mat has to be cut and the frame squared off.
Again these are more for the out of Sydney visitors and are less easy to pack than a small plate. They would fit into a suitcase though and wrapped well in between clothes they will withstand the worst that airport baggage handlers can throw at them.
As they are executed I'll post pictures later so watch this space.
