Last week (or so) I spent a few hours with Sky McDonagh who was just back from Ireland. Sky is starting graduate school at RIT this fall and she wanted to have these pieces photographed before she gets bogged down with classes and students. I couldn't decide which photos to post so there are a lot more than usual in today's blog post. Check out Sky's website www.fahanskymcdonagh.com.
Below is a Sky's variant on the Pate de Verre technique.
This was a favorite on facebook. The swing seats are rocks wrapped in glass to attach them to the chains. The leaves came from outside CMOG.
The center of the tree is a rock wrapped in glass, the minerals in the rock changed color when exposed to the heat of being wrapped.
The bee guarding his honeycomb.
A good example of her wrapping of rocks in glass.
Her summer students were amazed by this, encased inside the tube are found objects, a robins egg, leaves etc. The trick was to encase it without setting the objects on fire.
