Our refrigerator was broken and then I was gone. I went to Tacoma and Seattle where I, looked at a lot of art glass, interviewed people who know about art glass, visited an art glass school, and seriously considered buying a modest piece of art glass but knew it would break in my suitcase so didn’t.
Today, back home, I interviewed more glass artists on the phone and looked through my books of art glass and thought about ordering a modest piece of art glass online and might.
I can’t stop thinking about glass, but I’ll get back to cooking soon. Maybe not tonight, but definitely tomorrow.
I was at a gallery here that had some gorgeous blown glass but I fell in love with the Vietnamese embroidery paintings http://www.vietnamtourism.info/fascination/culture/vietnamese-embroidery-painting.htm#.UcZqfRbhDao
ReplyDeleteOur glass artists in Washington are pretty amazing. I have a pitcher a friend made that is so beautiful....now I want to take glassblowing classes again.
ReplyDeleteI think a trip to Venice is in order. The glass is amazing and the food isn't to shabby either.
ReplyDeleteDefinetely agree with Anonymous..get thee to Venezia!
ReplyDeleteI spent formative (deformative?) teen years in Tacoma and thus am scarred for life by overexposure to Dale Chihuly. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteGo buy the glasses...and use them when (if?) you have a special moment to yourself You'll get a thrill with every G&T or lemonade literally 'on the rocks'. I love the green.
ReplyDeleteJennifer, nothing to do with glass, but I know you're a novel reader and I was wondering if you have ever read the formerly South African, now British, novelist Barbara Trapido. I have read two of her books so far, Temples of Delight and Sex and Stravinsky, and am completely and utterly smitten.
