A co-worker, of a metal arts friend, asked me about making a
custom glass cake topper for her daughter's wedding this summer.
follow all that?...me either but anyway...
I've never made a cake topper per say but there are lots of
glass processes, shapes & styles that might work well for a cake topper.
It could hold water for flowers or be translucent to hold a lit candle?
It could be modern or traditional.
The possibilities.
Here's what I came up with after chatting a bit.
The bride's colors & flowers are lilac.
A two piece sort of abstract Monet' like
glass piece that could be used for either flowers or candles.
Glass layout in the kiln with a powdered glass base
(jade green, neo-lavender, white)
& then various frit & stringers on top with some
adventurine green fractures for sparkle.
Post firing at full fuse.
Post slump firing & mounted on a fire polished clear base.
Finished piece lit!
