This is a fun, whimsical piece. I took this opportunity to experiment. I fused a clear glass in the middle of two layers of opal glass. It captures the light and makes the piece glow if placed on a lighted pedestal. I also fused dichroic glass and crushed opal glass in between the layer to create different colors to come through the glass in a muted fashion. The vessel can be used to hold cotton balls or q-tips. Or you can just sit it out for decorate piece. Thanks, Andrea
