This was a clay piece I did of Ganges Khan when a guild member wanted an oriental man and woman head to check. I poured a plaster mold, scraped off the helmet and cut in hair lines. The piece was approximately 20"x20". This is a piece where I tried to incorproate the clay mold into the glass. It took numerous tries and line drawing to anticipate pinch points which were causing me fits. The blue was cut to frame the mold and the clear was an overlay to encase the the entire body of work. This was my first learning experience with glass and clay.
