13a Dish
Desc: Mosaic of Rectangles
Glass:
Spectrum (most, but not all, fusible)
Method:
A zillion .2" x .9" rectangles were cut from various shades of blue cathedral, as well as seafoam green, red, and pale purple. Ten rectangles were glued to a 2" square of Spectrum 200S with dabs of Elmer's blue gel glue, then the squares were tack-fused. White powder frit was brushed into the cracks between mosaic pieces and the squares were fired a second time to 1350. The design was inspired by a mosaic wall in the background of an ad for a local department store. Couldn't care less about the woman's suit for sale in the ad, but the wall caught my eye. The wall is mostly shades of blue with occasional accents of turquoise, seafoam green, pink, and red.
