11.4.2015 - Glass, Color & Emotion

I'll be the first to admit it...

It's difficult to go anywhere with me - when I'm not wearing a blindfold.  Last weekend we went to a restaurant in San Antonio - and upon entry I almost fell over when I saw this chandelier overhead... I WANT IT.

Well, if I can't have it - I at least want a really cool photo of the glass.  It just struck every chord of my being.  Maybe because I can 'see' how it was made and in my mind - and am already lining up all my short rods... LOL.  

What does it do for you?

Next assault on my senses was shelf upon shelf of glassware - displayed so nicely at Marti's... My first thought was 'what? No dust?'... but really... again - I can see these being created - and love the downright assault of color and movement.  Glass is everywhere in my vision scope -  so is the amazing color...  Can you imagine the amount of time and effort that went into the creation of this mask?  I shied away from cross stitch embroidery because my Xs never crossed consistently in the same direction... every small seed bead is oriented correctly... amazing.
