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 |

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 |

 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 |

Can Anything Match the Beauty of Hand Blown Glass Jewelry? |
| 7/29/2009 1:03:01 PM |
Humans have been adorning themselves with jewelry of various types almost from the time that Man first learned to walk erect. It's no secret why women, and sometimes men, wear jewelry; it's beautiful. To me, one of the reasons why any piece of jewelry is beautiful is because it's unique rather than being one of thousands of identical pieces. I guess that's why I'm so... Read More |

Blown Away By Chiluhy Blown Glass |

 I never really knew anything about hand blown glass pieces. I had seen artsy pieces in stores but it wasn’t until I saw the Chiluhy piece, set on the roof a massive 20 foot high entrance way in the Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Vegas that it really hit home how amazing the art of blown glass is. For those who have never seen this piece in Vegas, imagine a twenty by thirty... Read More with Video |
