Dripping Glass Fusion Jellyfish Sculpture

This dripping glass fusion jellyfish sculpture was an interesting project. The goal was to have the tentacles drip down from the hood and create a base for display.

Measuring approximately 6” x 4.25”, this beautiful transparent glass sculpture consists of 5 layers of glass. I made a form using rigidized SilkeMat on which the 5 layers of glass were stacked and as the glass melted, gravity played a big role in forming the tentacles. When sunlight hits the glass, it sparkles like tiny diamonds.

I plan to create a similar piece using more glass in a variety of colors. The kiln Gods were good to me on this project. Glass is expensive and projects take a lot of time .... this piece is a keeper. However, it has a new home and a new owner.
