Recently my eye has been caught by glass casting and pate de verre.
I came upon Cynthia’s Morganica blog a little while back and today saw this (click her link to see the post). It highlights her work in casting realistic portrait images in glass which involves producing a sculpted mold first.
As I read this post I came up on the part where she talks about “better eyes on the first try” and explains how the master sculptors use negative space to represent the lens of the eye. It’s amazing what you don’t see when you’re looking at a piece but when someone explains it like that you start to notice.
Thanks Cynthia, for opening my eyes!
