Linda Steider & Haley Menton: “In Search of Flower Fairies” Self Potraits in Glass '08 | firedglassportraits08.blogspot.com Haley, my niece, and I have searched for flower fairies since Haley was two years old. We’ve looked in every corner of every garden we’ve ever been in, and believe we caught a glimpse of one last summer. We finally decided the best way to find fairies is to pretend we are fairies. These portraits represent our fairy selves. Haley’s portraits [above] are my rendition in glass from her original drawings. She included one of her ‘real’ self and her ‘fairy’ self in flight. Mine [right] show a metamorphosis from ‘believer in all things magical’ to ‘inquisitive seeker of all truths’ to ‘wizened memory spouter’. 4” x 4” tiles, using Bullseye powdered glass atop a white base. Process temperature was 1300˚ Fahrenheit to retain texture and dimension.
