Steel City Mare

This creation has 207 pieces of glass in it. The glass for the caroussel horse is a blue/gray mottled glass which fits an appaloosa color perfectly. The horse and color was modeled from an actual caroussel horse from my home town. It is 25" wide and 19" tall. It is framed with 3/8" zinc came and 3/4" x 1 3/8" oak. I used the copper foil and solder method on this piece. It incorporates a variety of colors and textures. I finished it with black patina and it is hand polished.
