In executing this tac-fuse, the attempt was to ONLY tac-fuse each piece, by carefully monitoring the glass and controlling the time in temperature, to catch the entire kiln-formed composition at exactly the right moment, before any piece of glass slumped (except the 'water wave' strip of glass, which was purposefully slumped to its form).

This complete composition is an original design by and completely executed by Jeanne Marie Tanks.

This 18"x28" tac-fused panel of a moon-lit city reflected in water is tac-fused Bullseye glass:

1.  12" round thin white irid glass, fused behind clear double-rolled;

2.  thin strips of transparent and transparent-irid glass, in blues, aquas, teals, lavender, plum, clear;

     tac-fused on edge,

     with a couple strips laid flat to give different levels to the sculptural bas-relief,

     adding interest to the city-scape composition;

3.  (1) strip teal glass tac-fused on horizontal across the thin on-edge strips,

     causing undulating wave over the protruding bas-relief,

     to add to the illusion of edge of city & beginning of water;

4.  multiple champaign bubbles captured in background to simulate silvery star-laden sky;

5.  mounted in 2 1/2" deep silver-leaf frame.

(Some glare reflects off large clear glass, which shows white-looking marks on both front & side views.)
