It only took me a week to do but I finally got it done. Now I can concentrate on my maglesses.

It's 15-1/2" diameter, all Spectrum glass. The red/orange/yellow strips are a cut up pot melt.

Randy, I like it a lot, which given my lack of enthusiasm for yellow, is amazing.

Thanks for all the wonderful compliments. I had fun making it and plan on making more. It was well received by others I have shown it to also. It gets a little boring cutting all those strips but the results are well worth it.
Here's a pic of when I first started assembling it.

I had no real plan, I kinda made it up as I went along.
I don't have any strips left from that pot melt, I used the rest to make pendants. But it's not a problem to make another one.
I sandblasted the scum off then fire polished without using borax spray and it came out clear and shiney. I think I got scum cause I sprayed the borax on twice. I coated it once, let it dry then applyed a second coat. I live by the rule "more is better". I guess some new rules for borax spray is use ONLY when needed and never apply two coats.
