ENTERING ANOTHER WORLD

in #art8 years ago

The art of blowing glass has always fascinated me.


I met my first glass blower back in 2004 in New Orleans, and since then I've been impressed with the art. A friend I know back in Wisconsin has been developing his skill for some years now, so I took the opportunity to enjoy some of his work up close.

Like many glass bowers, marijuana pipes are a common product to produce, but, like many glass blowers, my friend enjoys creating other things, like these glass marbles, too.

AMAZING ART IN A MAGNIFICENT MEDIUM

Here is a collection of recent marbles my friend has crafted. When I return, I'd like to show you more of the process and allow you to appreciate some of the work and effort that goes into creating these.

It is a fantastic process and the end results are amazing, so I'll show off some closer photos for you all to enjoy.

LITTLE GALAXIES AND 3D ABSTRACT ART

EVEN DEEPER

These are shot even closer to provide a peculiar point of view. Some looks like sea anemones and others like "deep space." I wish I could "swim" through these and record what I saw... but this will do for now.

Until next time…

Looking so very close at things brings up an entire concept of photography even the smallest pattern makes so much of a difference

So cool. They're like little worlds trapped in glass. I wonder if we're inside some alien's marble somewhere trapped in our own little glass world.

Question, and I've wondered this before with the word anyway, because of the spelling since "therapist" is just "the rapist" with the space removed, but your name is pronounced "lavinia therapist" and not "Lavinia the rapist"... correct?
