My Joan Miro has turned more into a Joan Delony

Remember the post about the glass piece I did that reminded me of Joan Miro's artwork?

Well, I did tac it onto a piece of 8x8 glass.  It came out beautifully.  BUT, when I put it into the frame, the corner cracked!!!

So, I pulled it out, glue the corner, added some irid frit to cover the crack and help solidify the piece.  To even it out, I added a little bit of irid frit to the piece itself and to the diagonal corner.  
  I re-fired it using my own schedule, bringing it up to temperature very slowly and annealing for a bit longer.  The piece came out fine. But now it seemed a bit "over done".
Compare the journey:




And finally, hanging on the wall.
