April thru November 2009 The Red Bottles
I blew, ground and polished, and assembled my largest work, two large red bottles colored with wine red and silver nitrate. Both bottles were forty inches tall and weighed thirty pounds apiece. They were ordered and conceived by Kathy Walsh for lit spaces in her house on either side of her fireplace. They are absolutely beautiful! On the left, the bottle has four sides and two fully facetted jewels. The bottle on the right was facetted front and back and designed to be assymetrical. Both pieces complimented and contrasted each other. Forty inches tall! Thirty pounds apiece! Absolutely beautiful!
