This artwork
showing the Sleeping
Beauty ballet in stained glass is one of six ballet artworks I have
made in stained glass! It is one of my favorite subjects in
stained glass.
This free-hanging artwork is constructed with the copper foil method.
This
was necessary because the intricate shapes of the clear, textured glass
pieces in the background would not
allow lead came to be used. Also, with copper foil, I can get much
thinner leadlines, which allowed the delicacy of this artwork to shine
through.
I used two clear textured glasses for
the background. This ballet stained glass artwork is framed in a
black lacquered wood frame. The glossy black finish to the frame
complimented the use of solid black glass in the ballerina. To further
compliment the color scheme, all of the leadlines (copper foil covered
with solder) were darkened to near-blackness with a chemical patina.
