Valentines Day

What are you planning to commemorate this special day? I was busy making a few things for easy gift giving.

 

Have a Happy Valentines Day!

An Evening at the Opera

Another Mosaic that allows the viewer to interprete what is in front of him/her. To me it is an abstracted view of the glamour of an Opera House from days gone by.

The shimmering fabrics in the beautiful dresses, sparkling jewelry, the somber black of Tuxedos. All of it to point out and emphasize the special social event.

Always things to create.

It’s been a busy few months. Mostly custom orders but also a few things to keep the inventory at the  https://www.facebook.com/TheGalleryAtLaCigale/    stocked and some items for the new venture at ” The Nest” antique store.

One of the custom pieces was a large window. The client wanted a certain color scheme applied to a lighthouse she remembered from her childhood.

Back to work

The last few months were a little challenging with some health issues. But, all is resolved and I am ready to get back to work. It was really hard being forced to slow down, I am not a sedentary person.

The new year is just days away and I am looking forward to jumping back in with both feet. Some custom orders are waiting and there are many new ideas ready to be translated in to reality. Wishing everyone a great 2017.

Grateful for the assistance of my daughter Claudia Christensen during this project. Would not have been able to complete such a huge task without her Talent and dedication.

Butterfly Update

Today was the final space survey at the Milton and Kathrine Hershey Conservatory at Hershey Garden. The Butterflies will be delivered and installed next week. Such a bright, beautiful space! Looking forward to see the Butterflies take flight in that bright light under the glass dome. There will be 63 Butterflies!

Some musings

Someone asked me recently: “what do like to create more, boxes or panels or lamps?” I could not answer that in one or two sentences. The truth is that my favorite is always the one piece that I am currently working on. To watch a piece evolve from design to finished project is always a thrill, even after 30 plus years.

While I am waiting for a large glass shipment to arrive to create the glass Butterflies for the new Hershey Conservatory, I finished some custom orders. There was time to make some Treasure boxes for the Gallery at La Cigale and some upcoming shows. And I was thinking that the little Treasure boxes must surely be one of my favorite projects. Each one so unique, they allow me to pack as much or as little punch as I like into each one. When you look closely at them you can see beads, metal leaves, Geodes and Bevels. They all combine with the carefully chosen Artglass to make each one unique.OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA.100_9157August 2014 Glass and Garden 036August 2014 Glass and Garden 006100_9161
