Circle of Life

This piece is 32" in diameter. It's made of glass, plaster, metal and acrylic. I finished the glass first. Mapping the glass out on the circle to leave room for the shark was tricky. All along I was molding the fish out of plaster. The glass is mounted on acrylic dowles which were cut to length, drilled and tapped so they could be screwed to the metal basse. Each of the acrylic mounts is screwed into the circular metal 12 gauge metal base. The base has 8 little holes drilled in so light can pass through. It is a fascinating affect. The glass was glued to the acrylic mounts with super glue. The corral pieces were made with frit.
