Concentric circles are extremely hard to hand cut, so I cheated. I managed to do the blue in two pieces but after ruining some glass attempting to take the inside circle out in one piece I settled on doing quarter circles. That lead to the idea of keeping the T line defined in the house.
I used Spectrum 96 for all my glass and the black stringers. A wispy clear was used over top of the whole design to give it an in ice look. I've used this technique before and I really have fallen in love with it.
This piece got a lot of tickets (I was told the bag was half full) put in it at the Chinese auction for the Pittsburgh Curling Club, even though I didn't get it finished until Saturday morning and the auction was that night. All other auction items had been out for Tropicurl 2012 since Thursday night.
I love this bowl so much I am going to make another very soon just for myself.
