Glacial Drift

Soft, swirling tones of ice blue and opal white evoke the stillness of frozen landscapes in this elegant fused glass panel. At its heart, a vertical band of hand-placed glass frit—cobalt, teal, clear, and snow-white—creates a textured ribbon that shimmers like sunlit frost over a glacial crevasse. The transparency and marbling within the glass shift subtly in the light, giving the piece a quiet sense of motion, like a slow-moving current beneath frozen water.

Compact yet visually impactful, this panel stands beautifully on a shelf or windowsill, where it can catch natural light and cast a serene glow. It’s a contemplative piece, offering a moment of calm through color and form—a perfect addition to any space that calls for clarity and softness.
