“Heidi by the Sea” contains 372 individual pieces - comprised of 21 colorsin a mix of stippled clear, water glass, artique, opaque, cathedral, and wispy semi-transparent glass. It measures 15 x 20 inches unframed and is made using the copper foil method.
HBTS was a true labor of love - my client and I referred to her as Stella - our glass baby. Like all things worth doing, she took work, compromise, inspiration, luck, and most of all open collaboration.
Heidi stands a watchful eye over a familiar coast line. The sun is setting behind wedding doves set amid a tangle of ranunculus in a birch tree chuppah. Now the bride can look out her window and see that far away view and be transported.
