I can't help myself! I really enjoy making strips pieces. The biggest drawback is the amount of glass each bowl/plate takes. I've gotten pretty fast at cutting the strips but I usually underestimate how many strips each piece will need. This piece involves not only cutting the strips but inlaying the squares. I've also used a strip of a striped pattern bar along each edge. I had a hard time deciding whether to drop this into a mold or leave it as a stand alone piece in a iron stand. Obviously I finally chose the mold. Still unsure as to whether it was the right decision but for now this piece sits!
