Original Message: More Eye Amulets |
---|
On one of the walls, they had displayed a number of objects they make—and, of course, my eye was drawn immediately to the gigantic eye amulet on the right wall, that is as large as a dinner plate. Usually, an eye bead or pendant is made from molten glass, formed into disks and layered together, generally connected to a typical bead mandrel. In this instance, I would guess this piece has been made in a slumping/fusing kiln, by superimposing the different disks, and then fusing them into one piece. JDA.
