Around 1989, I created this fused piece for a couple in Duck, on the outer banks of North Carolina. It was for a couple of kitchen doors on the third floor of their beach home.

I had never created a fused project before.

Fusing requires using formulated glass so all the colors are compatible. After cutting to my slightly oversized pattern, I overlapped the cut lines and fired to around 1150 degrees in my old pottery kiln.

After installation, we discovered that as the sun moved across the room, the light would hang on the cut lines for a few minutes and then jump over to the following cut line.
