The next layer for my Cosmos / Universe piece was to be a slice of the earth crust.
So, I started off in the same way that I made the top layer, by snapping up glass rods in blues and greens, and forming them in a mish-mash style to create a woven effect slab of glass.
Once melted flat I was pretty happy with the colours but I needed a better shape. So back it went into the kiln, draped over a ceramic bowl so I could get the domed shape I wanted.
I think that has worked pretty much how I wanted it to. I would have preferred a slightly softer dome shape, but I don't have a lot of choice of ceramic moulds so I had to go with what I had.
Now it is time to put all of the elements together and hopefully create my original plan :)
