 New for 2011

 Marine Gardens

        Our beautiful turquoise blue glass formula and the transparent nature of the glass medium naturally made us want to try to capture an expression of the beauty of the underwater landscape.  Before the piece is blown a small bit of colored glass is picked up on the end of the blow-pipe blown  and formed into a donut.  Then the additional layers of glass and the background patterning are applied and fused on. Threads of colored glasses that represent the eel grass are picked up to give the feeling of the current moving beneath the surface.
 The carefully chosen colors give depth to the underwater vegetation and appear different in either transmitted or reflected light situations.  Then the myriad of seafloor colors are added to ground the imagery.  After the piece is blown out, the initial color stays near the top and the light is transmitted mainly through the center of the piece giving you the feeling of the light being beneath the surface of the water, reflected off the sea bottom and trapped by the warm upper layers.  These pieces are incredibly beautiful in areas where they receive a lot of natural light shining through.  The imagery takes you to a peaceful, tropical paradise beneath the ocean blue.
