This one is for sale and you can buy it here.
Arlene says, “I just completed learning, from the master himself, how to do sandblasting art on glass and I tell you I loved it, but my 73+year old hands had a hard time doing it. It was not to bad doing all the steps with the design and the resist and then “weeding” out the pieces I wanted to sandblast, but doing the actual sandblasting in the big machine with my hands inside gloves and looking through a glass covered box was hard to do and sometimes see. I had to take a lot of rests. I will put this in a stained glass piece. Here are two views of it.

Arlene keeps experimenting with the big kiln and here is one of her latest pieces. “The Citrus Tree”. It is 10.4″ x 10.5″ and consists of 3 layers of glass. Plus some new stuff she is playing with called “Freeze N Fuse” which is taking powdered ground glass and mixing it with distilled water and chemicals, then pouring it into molds, freezing the molds, then fast tack firing it. This piece will go into a wrought iron stand.
Carl had two alumni students come in and show him the side panel test pattern they are making for their front door. They are Frank and Ora R. from Glasgow. It is always great when alumni students go on to do projects on their own.
