This ball hung during the Christmas season of 1997 on the tree in the Blue Room of the
White House in Washington, DC. The special themes that year were various crafts in
fabric and glass, and the tree contained some 700 handmade ornaments. My ball was made
using reasonably conventional stained glass techniques, as requested. Each piece of glass
is slumped, and the pieces are joined using copper foil. The ball is hollow and there are
gaps in the surface pattern, which reduce the weight and also allow light to shine through.
