of a cluster of grapes hanging from the vine.
This one is called Slices of Life.
Lovely to look at, it becomes more
mesmerizing when one realizes the
collection of 60 glass bubbles each contain an
image from the life of a 60 year old woman -
they are like luminous windows to
her childhood, her marriage, her progeny.
Such a sweet biography of the sentimental
and celebrated moments of life.
This necklace is called Bird Watching.
It features a bevy of 23 bubbles each containing
an image of a wild bird that was photographed
from a bird-watching guide from the 1940's.
Who expected jewelry to be beautiful
and educational at the same time?
Here's a close-up of a similar bubble-
it's charming and perfect.
This work certainly does challenge the
perception of what glass can and cannot do.
It brings glass to life in a manner
we haven't seen before.
This artist's work is eye-catching.
The use of unexpected materials in her bubbles
bring color and a feeling of playfulness to her work.
We've seen her pieces feature images
of animals, flowers, trees.
Mother Nature provides an endless
array of subject matter and color choice.
The bubbles are so effervescent
they seem ready to float away.
But we're grateful that they're tethered
to this world as art jewelry.
Enjoy!
