I'm so curious to hear others thoughts about art. How does it make you feel or does it make you feel anything at all? This question was asked by a famous artist and then placed on youtube for all to see his experiment.
Art isn't confined to one period or one style it has as many different facets.
What makes you stop and look and actually see what the artist has created, Do you act on what you feel by investigating thoroughly to see what else the artist has in his or her portfolio. Are you basically interested in the design or color to inspire your home or office environment. Do you feel you have a connection with the artist that makes you want to purchase the piece. When an artist creates they are truly inspired by the object, thing or person they are creating and they express there feelings through their medium and many times it may not be recognizable to the viewer but there is a connection. What makes you connected?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I see in the photo the bowl isn't sitting up right in the chains. I was in a hurry needing to ship it offso I could take a quick picture. This was a blast making and I intend on making more.
The glow that bounces off the light is beautiful, In one corner of the room it lights the ceiling and is huge focus point, what a ambiance it gives.I think I may do another one similar to this one but with amber glass. I have a shipper to package this piece. There are many ways to make this light just let your imagination flow. It's more for a decor piece of lighting than for reading.

To The Post was made in rememberence of a friend of ours. The excitment of the horse races we always found thrilling. Picking the right horse to win was fun, exhilarating and probably all wrong from the way the experts pick the winning horse.
The horses long delicate thin legs with  the strong body form is truly amazing.
I wanted to project the day at the races. By doing so, I used two circles of clear glass  which I full fused together. I then designed the sky by cutting the clouds with my Taurus Ring saw and then fused to the circles around 1450 degrees. Next was the tree tops cutting them at different angles to project the sihouette of tree tops but before firing I made the rolling hills with the tree tops laying on top of the glass, this was fired at a lower temperture. The last process which was difficult was drawing and cutting the horses with the saw. You may notice a different in size with the horses body. The reason is because each color of glass melts differently at the same temperture which makes the body form a little more round. The post was the last piece added to the scenery and still fired at a temperture even lower than the rest.
This sits in a black steel stand that compliments the piece.
I hope you enjoy  this piece and if you have any comments please share.
Thank you,

If there is one place in this world I would rather be It's at the ocean in California,
Newport Beach or  Hermosa. Relaxed, kicked back people that enjoy each others company live there.  I can loose myself totally visiting the ocean and find great peace there. I made this bowl after visting this area to remind me of the crystal clear waves that can put you into a trace. The Seaweed designed in the bowl shows life that living specie's  are feeding from the seaweed. Scientists believe that seaweed extract, known as alginate, is the idea way to add fibre junk food such as burgers, pies and cakes.
The natural gelling agent, which helps to bind water molecules, is already used to thicken up the tops of premium lagers and pet food chunks.
Adding the seaweed extract could help quadruple the amount of fibre in white bread. Seaweed is not fattening it contains no fat, and alginate extracted from seaweed may even help you slim.
