Village on a Welding Lens


Back in the year of 2016 (many moons ago) I showed you scenes of Guildford College selling off supplies from its building department when it had a massive clear-out

One of the things I bought was a box of lenses for welding goggles. I had no idea what I would do with them, very dark green and dense, but if I hang on to things for long enough, they generally prove useful in some way.

So I used DAS air dry clay







to make lots of little houses and some trees, painted them with a white pearlescent paint, glued them onto the green lenses




and then added a type of glitter made from tiny silver balls (like seed beads). By leaving an un-decorated oval at the front, it appeared to be a deep dark lake with a village huddled around it.




I still have some small circular lenses... no idea what to do with them yet.
