My Sahara

Multiple layered fused glass bordered with mosaic design of murrini's complemented by Michael Angelo Menconi of The Contemporary Studio of Glass Art and pieces of sheet glass. Set in a cast iron frame with additional custom design hooks for the blown glass capsule necessary for the scroll that holds the narrative and iron initials in the frame. "My Sahara" is a chapter and also a part of the puzzle of the "Gypsy Series" masterpiece I am currently working on. "My Sahara" is inspired by a heroine I admire and is a story about love, promise, beauty and the horrible end of a vibrant extraordinary spirit that I had once known.
