Here is my final currency. I found the gold aventurine difficult to photograph accurately, but I think the idea comes across. I made many versions of these using different combinations of frits, stringers and enamel, and picked the series that made the most cohesive whole. The culture I imagine using this currency lead simple lives that free them from the desire to accumulate wealth, and use currency as a placeholder when goods or services need to be deferred, or for the pleasure of adornment.



These are the 50 best of the many attempts I made. I tried to experiment with color, shape and size. I really enjoyed the material and I hope to continue to work with my remaining glass in the next semester.
