I didn't even think I liked art glass



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.

  1. 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

  5. I spent formative (deformative?) teen years in Tacoma and thus am scarred for life by overexposure to Dale Chihuly. Sigh.

  6. Go 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.

  7. Jennifer, 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.
