I made this glass tide pool after falling in love with the miniature ecosystems that dot the shorelines of Acadia National Park here in Maine. Each tide pool is unique, filled with kelp, snails, rocks, crabs and swirling water. I designed this piece to have those elements as well as a real agate to capture the soft movement of the sea as the water fills the rocky crevices.
The tide pool was made using the Tiffany-method of copper foil and solder. I selected various colors of Pennsylvania-based Youghiogheny glass, which is hand crafted to capture the essence of nature, and water.
Materials: Blue agate, stained glass, copper foil, lead frame, lead solder, metal hook and hanging wire.
Measurements: Approximately 10 inches x 10 inches
