Along the road

This glass piece measures about 12" x 12".  I made a simple summer birch scene with a winding path.  Most of the piece was made on Oceanside sky blue transparent glass.  I then used fine and medium frit in shades of green.  I used brown and almond glass for the path.   The bark on the tree was painted with  glass enamels.  I wanted a different stand treatment since I chose to slump the piece on a piece of metal that I bent into a curve.   Again, I asked my metal artist friend to make some copper trees with tiny brass leaves to help hold the piece in place.  I chose to show you the back side of the piece so that you can see that I just drilled a hole into the driftwood and put a metal rod into to help hold up the glass piece.  Overall I think it adds to the total effect.
