An experiment that worked.

Neighbor had their copper gutters removed and some small pieces fell in my yard so now I have copper for spacers. Today a Virage Fountain in Acrylics the bands are slightly raised and I did not paint the tubes, I wanted to see if the bands would glow and they do.

Beautiful colors, pleasing to the eye! The cast with the copper in it just draws me in. Or is that cast? Can't tell. Looks like a clear casting over copper.

That really worked!

Lee, it's a section of a blank called Antique Gold. Lengthwise on 2 sides it shows layers you can see through and the other two loo like a normal swirl blank, I turned it sideways so you could see through the layers, the glow is the unpainted tube. The copper is the separators between segments.

Great job Carl. I would have preferred similar sized segments (width, i.e., 2 top 2 bottom) in the top and lower barrels - equally spaced from the ends, but from what I see the segments look awesome in their color - well done!

And yes, as an "experiment." I believe it went very, very well, as it doesn't come off as an experiment.

Very nice.

Thanks, Mark. Trying to think outside the box on the fly. I dont usually plan anything, I just start cutting etc but I do tend to refine down the road.
