And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Glass "murrine" made by artist Loren Stump. Each color in the piece was carefully layered to create this "loaf" which was then sliced. Each slice sold for $5000.
my guess would be a diamond saw, and then polished. I've seen it done for thunder eggs, but I'd hope the thinnest blade possible. Agreed, 5k is cheap for such exquisite work.
Looks like x number of thin glass pieces were meticulously painted identical, all the pieces stacked, then rolled in hot molten glass & put into a kiln until the melting temperature fused it all. The clear runoff at the back is the "shell" of molten glass it was rolled in. That's how I'd do it.
That is amazing, would love to see how its done
ReplyDelete$5k is a bargain. Genius
ReplyDeleteHow do they slice it?
