Glamorous Precious Phenomenon

The Coronado Sparkle glass starfish was hand sculpted from molten glass to resemble the sparkle of the waves lapping against the Coronado shores. Small bits of iron pyrite and mica are found in the sand in Coronado, creating a sparkle and shimmer in the sunlight.  I used pink dichroic glass to imitate this beautiful phenomenon.  An earthy tide pool blue is embedded into the glass behind the dichroic to resemble the salty water.

I try to capture the essence of the starfish in a tide pool. The starfish is created with the color pattern on the bottom of the starfish that gets magnified from the thick layer of optical clear glass on the top, making the starfish almost look wet. The pattern on this particular star is called Murrine, an Italian glass technique where I take a glass cane (long rod of glass) and cut it in cross-sections to reveal a pattern that mimics the natural texture of the starfish in the wild. People have also said that it looks like barnacles on the starfish.
