JENN FERRANTE’s Inspiration Point: TURTLE SHELL -REAL IN MY MIND

So many colors, places, details.  My mind is always jumping from one idea to another.  For me this piece represents inspiration points.

An afternoon beach escape from a hot, hot city.  Walking in the surf with my husband.  We both swear we were surrounded by minute baby turtles for a brief time.   True or not, I started thinking about how beautiful turtles shells were.  The same week I had the most surprising and amazing reaction of color as I pulled hot glass cane to make into Murrini at a friend’s studio.  Guess what it reminded me of.   My mind was off and racing with all the possibilities and ideas as these two days and experiences merged and swirled together.
