~~*~~

Collectible works of glass art, beautiful collectible spun glass figurines make lovely gifts and feel like a mysterious goddess treasure.

Whimsical angel drawings, fairies in art, they all visit this lens from time to time to see what castles might arise.

Ever watch those people work with the little flame and a stick of glass?

Amazing to me what develops from a simple piece of glass. This lens is all about those little treasures and other glass collectibles as well as my interest in fairies and mermaids.. smile.

Spun Glass Figurines are delicate pieces of beautiful art. Spun glass figurines,collectible animal figurines, fairies, goddess art, castles, snowman figurines, crystal, cherub figurines, adorable animal figurines, leaded glass, blown glass.. the list goes on.

By the way... The painting "Flight" is mine. The original is a 48x24 oil on canvas. I use it everywhere because it matches my feelings about art.

It is available in giclee on canvas through my official website along with free coloring pages of fairies and mermaids:

A poem I wrote:

"Scrapbooking of the Heart-Nautical Stickers Between the Pages"

Years ago I found a photo album
It contained a journal
scrapbooking of the heart
nautical star stickers
between the pages
a diary of the soul.
I found it and placed it close to my ears.

Words of someone else
scrapbooking chat rooms
someone other than myself had heartaches
yes, free pattern templates for scrapbooking
designed to measure us all the same
sadness had overwhelmed her at times
I read and heard her tears.

Her days were spent with indecision
just like my life
just like yours.
I learned so much
scrapbooking chat rooms
people are so open.
She worried and fretted
what would come
what was past that she could not deal with.
I placed her words and pictures close to my ears.
Her words were oft times mine
and I think yours as well.

I wonder about her
after all these years later
this fantasy woman I have never met.
I wonder if she ever found her way.
Her trials not so unlike mine and yours.
How did she meet them in the end?
Is she OK?
Did she embrace her strength
or did she neglect her spirit?
Did she decide the road was worth the travel
or did she fall along the wayside?

I think sometimes that YES
she indeed did decide
set out her plans to find new horizons.
I imagine her finding every star she wished on.

All alone sometimes
I know that she is me as well.
It is the fragrance of this story
that speaks to me at night
before I go to sleep.
I feel them
those stars
those fantasies made real.
I rest my head
plot the day that will come in the morning
knowing I am and always have been
just as unsure
just as worried
yet just as hopeful
as I dream she was in her world that came
to her
so many years ago now.

I placed her words and pictures close to my heart
nautical star stickers
between the pages.
Her words were oft times mine
and I think yours as well.

I will embrace the stars if you will.

I am a HUGE Kate Bush fan. So here are some cd's by her.

"Babooshka", the music I selected for you to listen to above is such a FUN song..

Here are the lyrics:

I am a HUGE Kate Bush fan. So here are some cd's by her.

"Babooshka"

She wanted to test her husband.
She knew exactly what to do:
A pseudonym to fool him.
She couldn't have made a worse move.

She sent him scented letters,
And he received them with a strange delight.
Just like his wife
But how she was before the tears,
And how she was before the years flew by,
And how she was when she was beautiful.
She signed the letter

All yours,
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka-ya-ya!
All yours,
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka-ya-ya!

She wanted to take it further,
So she arranged a place to go,
To see if he
Would fall for her incognito.
And when he laid eyes on her,
He got the feeling they had met before.
Uncanny how she
Reminds him of his little lady,
Capacity to give him all he needs,
Just like his wife before she freezed on him,
Just like his wife when she was beautiful.
He shouted out, I'm

All yours,
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka-ya-ya!
All yours,
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka-ya-ya!
All yours,
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka-ya-ya!

The Glass Menagerie 

~~*~~

"The Glass Menagerie"

The Play, the music, the treasure of it.

The Glass Menagerie is a play by Tennessee Williams. The play premiered in Chicago in 1944, and in 1945 won the prestigious New York Drama Critics Circle Award. The Glass Menagerie was Williams's first successful play; he went on to become one of America's most highly regarded playwrights.

Synopsis

The play is set in St. Louis, Missouri, United States, during the Great Depression and deals with the troubled relationship between an aging mother, Amanda Wingfield, and her painfully shy daughter Laura Wingfield, as told by the son and brother, Tom Wingfield, who is supposedly relating events from memory. He states that the play is not completely realistic, because "memory takes much poetic license." In this "memory play", the time scheme moves freely between the past (the 1930s) and the present (1944-1945). (The action takes place in either 1935 or 1936, since it is "two years" after Chicago's Century of Progress World's Fair of 1933-34.)

Lyrics to

"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" .. IZ style

Artist - IZ

Album - 50 First Dates Soundtrack

Lyrics - Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Ooo oooooo oooooo oooo ooo ooo ooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooo ooo ooo
Ooo ooo ooo

Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high,
And the dreams that you dreamed of,
Once in a lullaby.

Oh, somewhere over the rainbow,
blue birds fly, And the dreams that you dreamed of,
Dreams really do come true.

Someday, I'll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where trouble melts like lemon drops,
High above the chimney top,
That's where you'll find me.

Oh, somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly,
And the dreams that you dare to.
Oh why, oh why can't I?

Well, I see trees of green and red roses too,
I'll watch them bloom for me and you.
And I think to myself: What a wonderful world!

Well, I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white,
And the brightness of day.
I like the dark and I think to myself:
What a wonderful world!

The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky,
Are also on the faces of people passing by.
I see friends shaking hands, saying, 'How do you do?'
They're really saying, ' I...I love you!'

I hear babies cry, and I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more than we'll know.
And I think to myself: What a wonderful world!

Someday, I'll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where trouble melts like lemon drops,
High above the chimney top,
That's where you'll find me.

Oh, somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high.
And the dreams that you dare to,
Oh why, oh why can't I?

Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooo ah, ah, ah... eh ah ah, eh ah ah ah ah...

Instructor DelphiGlass Recommends
The two key things everybody is impressed with about this torch vs. a Mapp gas torch head is: 1. It's so much hotter - you can do so many things so much faster (ex. 10-15 beads vs. 5 beads); 2. It's incredibly quiet. People love that! Once you upgrade your torch you have the ability to do more intricate and advanced techniques. This is the torch to get when you are ready for the next step in lampworking.

Flamework in both Borosilicate and Italian Moretti Glass with the Minor!
Make professional quality beads in a fraction of the time: hollow beads, blown beads, murrine lampworked sculptures, hollow core vessels and more! This surface mix torch has easily adjustable control valves (see image below) making it simple to regulate the oxygen and propane gas flow, which is ideal for detailing and reduction powders. If you're ready to step your work up to the next level, this is the torch system for you!

Crystal... about it, not glass but... 

Crystal structure

Which crystal structure the fluid will form depends on the chemistry of the fluid, the conditions under which it is being solidified, and also on the ambient pressure. The process of forming a crystalline structure is often referred to as crystallization.

While the cooling process usually results in the generation of a crystalline material, under certain conditions, the fluid may be frozen in a noncrystalline state. In most cases, this involves cooling the fluid so rapidly that atoms cannot travel to their lattice sites before they lose mobility. A noncrystalline material, which has no long-range order, is called an amorphous, vitreous, or glassy material. It is also often referred to as an amorphous solid, although there are distinct differences between solids and glasses: most notably, the process of forming a glass does not release the latent heat of fusion. For this thermodynamic reason, many scientists consider glassy materials to be viscous liquids rather than solids, although this is a controversial topic; see the entry on glass for more details.

Crystalline structures occur in all classes of materials, with all types of chemical bonds. Almost all metal exists in a polycrystalline state; amorphous or single-crystal metals must be produced synthetically, often with great difficulty. Ionically bonded crystals can form upon solidification of salts, either from a molten fluid or when it condenses from a solution. Covalently bonded crystals are also very common, notable examples being diamond, silica, and graphite. Polymer materials generally will form crystalline regions, but the lengths of the molecules usually prevents complete crystallization. Weak Van der Waals forces can also play a role in a crystal structure; for example, this type of bonding loosely holds together the hexagonal-patterned sheets in graphite.

Most crystalline materials have a variety of crystallographic defects. The types and structures of these defects can have a profound effect on the properties of the materials.

[edit] Other meanings and characteristics
Ice crystals
Ice crystals

Since the initial discovery, made in 1982 by Dan Shechtman, the acceptance of the concept and the word quasicrystal have led the International Union of Crystallography to redefine the term crystal to mean 'any solid having an essentially discrete diffraction diagram', thereby shifting the essential attribute of crystallinity from position space to Fourier space. Within the family of crystals one distinguishes between traditional crystals, which are periodic on the atomic scale, and aperiodic crystals which are not. This broader definition adopted in 1996 reflects the current understanding that microscopic periodicity is a sufficient but not a necessary condition for crystallinity.

While the term "crystal" has a precise meaning within materials science and solid-state physics, colloquially "crystal" refers to solid objects that exhibit well-defined and often pleasing geometric shapes. In this sense of the word, many types of crystals are found in nature. The shape of these crystals is dependent on the types of molecular bonds between the atoms to determine the structure, as well as on the conditions under which they formed. Snowflakes, diamonds, and common salt are common examples of crystals.

Some crystalline materials may exhibit special electrical properties such as the ferroelectric effect or the piezoelectric effect. Additionally, light passing through a crystal is often refracted or bent in different directions, producing an array of colors; crystal optics is the study of these effects. In periodic dielectric structures a range of unique optical properties can be expected as seen in photonic crystals.

Crystallography is the scientific study of crystals and crystal formation.

[edit] Crystalline rocks
Fossil shell with calcite crystals
Fossil shell with calcite crystals

Inorganic matter, if free to take that physical state in which it is most stable, always tends to crystallize. Crystalline rock masses have consolidated from aqueous solution or from molten magma. The vast majority of igneous rocks belong to this group and the degree of crystallization depends primarily on the conditions under which they solidified. Such rocks as granite, which have cooled very slowly and under great pressures, have completely crystallized, but many lavas were poured out at the surface and cooled very rapidly; in this latter group a small amount of amorphous or glassy matter is frequent. Other crystalline rocks, the evaporites such as rock salt, gypsum and some limestones have been deposited from aqueous solution, mostly owing to evaporation in arid climates. Still another group, the metamorphic rocks which includes the marbles, mica-schists and quartzites; are recrystallized, that is to say, they were at first fragmental rocks, like limestone, shale and sandstone and have never been in a molten condition nor entirely in solution. The high temperature and pressure conditions of metamorphism have acted on them erasing their original structures, and inducing recrystallization in the solid state.[1]

Summary: Spun glass is made from small rods of glass being heated to high temperatures and then spun or stretched into various shapes and patterns. Many homes feature pieces of this decorative art, usually in the form of spun glass figurines. The talented artist creates swirls of color and interesting bends in finely detailed glass sculptures and jewelry. Spun glass can be done at home, and many hobby or hardware stores will carry the necessary tools. When making spun glass, artists blend and seal sometimes dozens or hundreds of individual rods of glass, forming circles and patterns, angled limbs, or the smallest eyes. The craft requires an attention to detail and experience working colors into the clear glass to form interesting effects.
