After a long school holiday period and manic sales, I can finally take a mirco breath and compile a brief blog entry! My little work space is just wonderful, I'm loving it! The smithing bench is set up too now so you'll see more silver, copper and brass complimenting my pieces this coming year.
Lately, I have been working up lots of ideas for glass sculptures. This is an area that has always interested me as it offers so much scope for implementing the many bizarre and whacky ideas that occupy my daily thoughts.
I started recently with a very functional thought - I love fresh flowers but buying them in summer seems futile since the summer heat always seems to make them wilt very quickly. The solution for me was to compile a floral arrangement using various sculpted glass beads mounted on floral wire. Above is an example of the first design concept - rather fun and whimsical isn't it?
Albeit I do admit this type of sculpture is quite safe, unlike my current project/body of work. A little hint, it is science based, it is controversial & thought provoking and perhaps even a bit shocking! All will be revealed very soon.....
