I learned through my website education that the murano hand blown glass has been around for centuries. It comes... Read More |

The Beauty Of Hand Blown Glass |
| 10/8/2009 10:42:00 AM |
We as humans have been looking at the beauty of hand blown glass and blown glass jewelry for hundreds of years. The craftsmanship and time that goes into making such beautiful pieces of art is amazing. Blown glass vases and large art pieces have such depth and detail; it is hard to believe that the object used to be molten and very dangerous to the touch. I was doing a... Read More |

Blown glass jewelry very unique |
| 10/2/2009 5:04:33 PM |
 A few years ago, I received a very pretty blown glass necklace and matching earrings. It had many small, round, multi-colored glass beads on the necklace. The main color was a beautiful, soft green and it went with most everything I wore. I have received many compliments on my blown glass necklace and wanted to add more glass jewelry to my wardrobe. I went online and found... Read More

For the Love of Hand Blown Glass Beads |
| 9/25/2009 10:43:36 AM |
Have you ever been in a bead store? To me, it is like entering the proverbial candy shop. I have a love, perhaps even a fetish, for hand blown glass beads. The stores I visit offer every kind of bead made. From wooden, to clay, to gems and hand blown.
I like all beads but am always drawn to the hand blown areas. I have been known to spend hours picking out bead after bead,... Read More |

| 9/16/2009 9:47:04 PM |
 Whenever I go visit Helen, GA, there is one particular store where they perform the art of making hand blown glass articles. These artists make everything from blown glass animals, angels, fairies, and jewelry. While last there, I found the most stunning blown glass pendant. It had a slight tinge of blue to it, and it was in a double-heart shape. There was not another... Read More |

The Sky is the Limit for Hand Blown Glass |
| 9/16/2009 3:01:22 PM |
 I have a great respect for people who can create hand blown glass artwork. It's amazing to me how someone can change a rod of glass into chandeliers, bird houses, butterflies or any of the fascinating things I've seen made from hand blown glass. I've also seen little glass pianos that were made using this method. There is no limit to the items that can be created using... Read More |

Creating the Hand Blown Ceiling Art Look for Cheap |
| 9/16/2009 1:50:21 PM |
 I was watching a renovation show on the Home Network the other night featuring an artsy couple who were looking to rehab an old decrepit residence into a home to start a family in. In the spirit of saving money, they got very creative, doing much of the work themselves. In the entrance to their living room, they wanted to create something similar to the blown glass picture...

Hand Blown Anything Holds a Special Meaning |
| 9/7/2009 6:45:17 PM |
| I was always taught that the price of a present doesn’t mean anything if there isn’t a personal touch attached. This idea is reinforced every single year when I ask my mom what she wants for her birthday and she responds with all I want is a nice birthday card. She is more interested in some kind words then a gift certificate to get a pedicure even though I am sure she... Read More |

My best friend showed up at school today with a stunning blown glass pendant. I had never seen anything like it before. I really want one as well. Of course all day she would not tell me where she got the blown glass pendant. In a way I understood. Everyone was asking her where she got it. They all want to have a blown glass pendant as well. I guess she... Read More |

Blown Glass Takes Tremendous Heat to Create Beautiful Jewelry and Vases |
| 8/5/2009 10:49:56 AM |
 I met a woman last weekend who makes her own jewelry with blown glass. We were at a festival together, she selling her blown glass vases and jewelry and I demonstrating solar cooking. She got really interested in solar energy and wondered if there were a way to use solar heat to melt the glass. I thought there was, so I gave her some links for sites online to learn about...

I had never noticed their jewelry before; but, it was so lovely, and the lights reflected perfectly off the blown glass jewelry she carried. This made me realize how utilizing one's skill to develop hand blown jewelry is certainly a skill to be respected. You do not find... Read More |
