The whale curves, its tail raised in two flukes of navy glass. Its back is a band of navy glass with a glittering sheen running from tail to head, and its belly is one large piece of textured clear glass, so in the sun the lower half of the whale lights up while the upper half stays dark. A small fin of lighter blue glass shows beneath the belly. Few pieces and even curves, finished within one short session.
