Process & Production

First I broke some glass sticks into different sized pieces. Then I put the sticks in circles and glued with fusing glue. Always alternating from inside to outside from short to long ( 3 pieces-> blue, turquoise, purple). Also four thick white sticks where placed in the circle and each black line in the circle has a horizontal short stick at the end. Than it was burned at about 720°C.
