The reason for the carefree nebulous title is because I don’t know which day I will publish this blog. And I do want to publish it!
Looking back at all the Galleries, how can I not showcase some of the remarkable glass artists I’ve come across?
I hope you enjoy browsing through these glass galleries as much as i enjoyed sharing them with you.
I mean — LOOK AT ALL THIS MAGNIFICENT GLASS WORK!!

That’s amazing. One day I’d like to give glass art a go… maybe incorporate some of my characters too! 💕

Fantastic but I would be terrified to be around it. So delicate.

That’s why most of my glass collectables are either high up on a shelf or so thick I’m not afraid if they accidentally get knocked over….

I’ve made stained glass, paperweights, and some very basic blown glass pieces (which didn’t survive firing)… it’s TOUGH art!!
I recently watched a special on Chihuly. I didn’t realize he’s now that mastermind, but not the actual artist. I couldn’t comprehend how his artists translate his highly abstract drawing into the final pieces, but it was still fascinating!!

I appreciate your sharing the tidbit about Chihuly. I can see that. It’s always fascinating to see one’s influence in amazing pieces, even if they don’t have a direct hand in it. I’ve come across other artists where it’s not clear if they did the art or had help with it or shared the work with a family member. Do you showcase their work anyway? It’s the thought and feeling behind the art that counts, I would think.

The show was really good. Chihuly appeared at some famous glass museum/studio with a different style & artists every day, all who had worked with him long ago. Seeing everyone’s skills come together was fascinating!

Those are stunning.
Have you seen any of the pieces that have cremated remains mixed in? http://www.memoryglass.com
Of course, that comes from a funeral director 😊

Holy Chit! Creative indeed! I suppose I shouldn’t cringe at the thought of a loved one living in a beautiful hand blown piece … but what if the family cleans out their house one day and donates the glass object to Good Will? (my mind is certainly crooked this morning…)
