Sky Tower

I completed this piece about a month ago. I was looking for a way to incorporated glass into a piece and wanted to capture the brilliant blue sky of New Mexico. At first I thought the piece needed something more but after living with it for a month now I have come to like it. The piece is 6.25 wide by 14.5 tall. Curly maple with iridized blue glass.

this is awesome i like the purple color that peaks out from the glass at the top ,nice idea maybe we can mash this idea and the wheel idea together.
