I thought I would start a new thread on artistic expressions....

(from our exchange on this thread: http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1539882847/15#15)

Art is very subjective, sorta like a belief, that folks hold.
Its meaning, and worth, is predicated on many elements, like in the political spectrum, you have political personalities who "forecast and predict" policy/elections, etc, outcomes, based on THEIR OWN perceptions, and needs....
You have art critics.
Its only THEIR opinion too.

Lost, your stuff has value!

Anyway, I just wanted to share this with Lost ( and anybody else who enjoys artistic freedom ).
Its my wife's work.  

She creates these little glass beads from nothing but raw glass.
We buy (the glass) from Italy, by the pound, and depending on the glass, it can get pretty expensive.

She melts it onto a mandrel while holding it in a flame of propane with a oxygenation generator.....
As it melts, she shapes it by hand, using tools, and adding more colors, etc.
Once done, she puts it into a kiln, to anneal it against breakage.

She sells these all over the world.
Some folks just collect them, other create their own jewelry with her beads as focal, some buy and sell them too.

I will list a few owls, from this morning, a batch she made last night.
They sold out within minutes, all one of a kind, no two identical, that is why I have to photograph each and everyone she makes....
So it can be shown on the internet.

Lost, you can do this too.....
The biggest hurdle to selling on the internet is shipping.
These guys are all under a inch tall, so its easy to sell and ship.

Her Owl beads are famous.
These have a Halloween theme.

Her owls are very special to her and helped her over a major physical hurdle in her life 20 sumtin years ago.

Please enjoy    

















BYW, she is not limited to Owls.
She does every imaginable animal, birds, fish, dogs, cats, etc,

very cool man
