DANA ARBIB glassy visions

Tim Tate under glass

I am blown away (pardon the pun) by Tim Tate's creations in glass. Just when you think you have seen it all ... there is something else out there fantastic and new.







Washington Glass School

Etching

I tried some glass etching this weekend. The darker bottles weren't so successful.

Also began cleaning out the ever messy (beyond messy) sewing room. Gave away (finally) all my favorite linen pants that I haven't been able to fit into for 4 years. *sigh* It was time. The house has become nothing but storage bins and I am really tired of it.

When the wine is gone

Here is what to do with those bottles when the wine is gone.

Wine Bottle Lights by artist extraordinaire Jerry Kott. I want! These re-lights, recycled wine bottle lamps.

Wine bottle vases by David Guilfoose.

And glasses by etsy's bodhicitta.

Bravo And Beautiful

I love these zipper necklaces by Vanessa Yanow, and her glass bean sprouts. And speaking of sprouts, I want one of these, but how do they get this to happen?



Annie Cantin -- Verre Soufflé. Absolutely fun and stunning work, seen below.



And this wonderful, great, amazing idea -- PET project: by Miwa Koizumi, "using liquid containers to make water animals. Contained/containing, trash/not-trash, like the jelly-fish or anemone: Living/non-living. Bravo and beautiful! Aurora Robson also creates beautiful objects from discarded plastics bottles. You guys are my heros! Found Aurora Robson link via Happy Mundane comments ;)
