This 3 foot diameter window is of the Egan brothers flying off a jump at Squaw Valley.
The idea came from the cover of a ski magazine. I used a beveled outer border made from ¾
plate glass. I added some wispy white outside to fill an octagon window.
Click on the picture for a better view. For the ski
lift I used heavy guitar strings with copper and lead cutouts for the chairs.
For the bushes along the bottom (which are impossible to see) I used green WaterGlass. I painted one side with Black glass paints. After the paint dried, using different size brushes, I scraped away the bush design on the glass to reveal green bushes. It didn't show up in the photo but looked real cool. This is one of my all time favorite pieces.
