Art: Funky Olives Bowl by Artist Dawn Lee Thompson

This piece was all about having a ball with the medium. Brightly colored art glass was arranged in a free form design on a heavy clear base, then kiln fired to fuse the glass together. The resulting piece was then kiln fired again on props to form a funky free-form dish reminiscent of martini olives or confetti, (or both)! Very fun and colorful, with lovely cast shadows and a nice tactile weight.
