Ahhhhhh I needed that post, been a hectic day and glass is very still!
ReplyDeleteYour right, it's lovely to reflect upon!
I'm not a big believer in religion etc but this world has many wondrous natural materials for us to work with! Who or whatever thought of that has my vote!
Wood, clay, glass, twine!!!!!!
Converts we are! :)
I'm glad this moment of reflection gave you a peaceful moment in a hectic day.
DeleteZzzzzzz Now I need to check out the Dale Chihuly glass exhibit at the Va. Museum of Fine Arts here in Richmond.
ReplyDeleteThere's a Chihuly exhibit here too, at the Dallas Arboretum. I haven't been yet, but I plan to go to the night show. Can you imagine his sculptures beautifully illuminated in that setting?
DeleteI agree, glass has a meditative effect, especially when in graceful sculptural forms like the pics you posted.
ReplyDeleteInteresting, isn't it...since the idea of broken glass conjures one of the most jarring images.
DeleteWouldn't really class ourselves as glass fans, but the Holmegaard pieces are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteA few Gul vases would be just the ticket with your beautiful chairs.
DeleteStunning! My mom loved to decorate with glass - bottles, vases, things I wasn't quite sure what they were. Am more of a knick knack gal myself.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved the stories you've told about your mom. Now I know why. She and I were cut from the same cloth. :)
DeleteOh still my beating heart. You know how I feel about glass. I love it all. I was taking a little breaky from my big project this week. Working on house #2 and checking out your blog for posts on Cliff May.
ReplyDeleteYour posts about the home tour are wonderful. So much inspiration, so little time and money...
DeleteWow, those are just gorgeous! Inspired by this, I had to do a piece on glass myself, head on over and have a look here: http://stuffthatmakesmyheartbeatfaster.blogspot.no/2012/11/glass-gorgeous-glass.html
ReplyDeleteLOVE your blog, very inspirational!
All the best, Tove
