| it's very impressive, for sure... I didn't think pizza, but I sure did get a feeling of trains in either Germany or Switzerland...tho I haven't been to either...only tv and magazines. darned great, for just winging it! or any other way, too.... |
|
| I think you've captured the theme of the challenge very nicely.....you really are freakishly creative, LOL!!...and that's a GOOD thing! |

| I agree. I love Vanishing point, and the only resemblance I see to a pizza is if you are really really hungry and like to eat glass. LOL.. No it is amazing and I can't wait to see your progress. just getting back to check out GW again Christmas house guest that started to smell left. I was really hoping they would take a hint from your title. ROFL |
|
| best pizza I ever had was from a brick grill! yum!... but this looks way tooo big to make into a grill, unless its a TRAIN sized pizza! LOL got more pics yet? |
|
| Stunning! What is your substrate and how large is it |

| Lori... this is going to be so awesome! I'm looking forward to the next picture! |
|
| Thank you everyone for the encouragement and complements ! I haven't touched it since the posting of those pictures. I work 12hr shifts and just had a bunch of them. I only have till Thursday to finish and here I sit procrastinating. I am still not sure if I want to put more clay tiles for the inside or cut some black glass. The angle thing really is difficult for me. @Texasfern, it's 12 x 12 on Wedi board. I'm going to my room now to ponder. Pics for sure by Thursday : ) |
|
Go Lori Go!!!!!   |
|
| !!! lol NT!!! I decided to go w/black glass.. It's a hot mess, but " it is what it is " ! I'm cross eyed now..I hate angles.I hate math. Wahhhh ! |
|
| pppffbbbbtttt I don't even try to measure and do real math, I trust my eyes to decide if something looks good (why do you think my vainishing point is hidden in front of the truck!!!) LOL and I know what you are working on will be great! |

| While I was AWOL, I did a little reading now and then, and this piece, plus NT's "Old Beater" were the ones I watched. I have no words to describe my awestruck ness - see I told you I'm word challenged - on this wonderful work of art. This is mind-bogglingly out of sight. I sooooo w/love to see this piece in person. You and NT have captured the vanishing point in art beautifully. |
