Hello, thank you for finding my work. Google Alerts let me know that my work was mentioned… so visiting your website. It’s interesting that those oval shaped pieces could be in tiny brooch size or possibly monumental size (really?). Actual size for the first two-piece set is 15″ h x 8″ w x-3/4″ d each. The second one is a bit larger. More info is here – http://www.davidsongalleries.com/artists/ichikawa/ichikawa.php
As a glass artist working with a torch and fire everyday, I find this artist work to be one of the most beautiful works of art I’ve seen. The video shows the grace and care she takes when creating these unique works of art.
