my first casting summer's ring etc. stand


-----THE HAND-----------THE BASE ----
------Dec. 2006------------Jan 2007------

well here is my first casting not to say it's art or anything just think about it as a test. It's a two part cast...my hand is an old clay mold that I've had for years, I made it in university around 1989 even then at the beginning of my warm glass experiments, I was interested in casting, but only used it for slumping glass into it at that time. The blue base is my first high fire glass casting.. using a wax pattern and casting the wax in plaster and then casting the glass in the plaster void or negative.
