Photo(s) of the Week, May 21
Just made some new glass pieces and of the three I really like two of them. The third, well, sometimes the colors just don’t work well together. I keep hoping to make some glass that I just want to sell, but then I do some exploring and find all kinds of things going on. I’m really happy with these, so I am posting more than just one image. Don’t worry there are plenty for future posts!
First, the two 8 inch glass discs
I was trying to create some lighter pieces to compliment my mostly darker ones, and succeeded. As the next few macro photos show, there are at least a few really interesting brighter and lighter images to be found.
Loving this mix of colors
My favorite of the day (and I took about 35 photos).
This one seems very simple, but strong
I am really excited about these and can hardly wait to see them in print. My favorite way of printing is on metal, so I won’t get instant gratification, but I do have some metallic paper on hand, and that gives a pretty good feel for how they will look. One thing I am also excited about is that these are all very large images to start with, so they could be printed on a very large scale.

Photo of the Week, May 14
Another image with a “celestial” feel to it. I love these! Part of the reason I named this collection of images “Worlds Within” is that some look like things that should be of another universe. Can’t you imagine the Enterprise sailing past something like this in the old episodes of Star Trek?
Finally, I have upgraded my Photoshop and Lightroom programs, so I hope to be able to do some extra fine tuning of upcoming images. While I don’t like to do a whole lot to the images, sometimes the color really isn’t quite as true to the actual color of the glass as I would like, or there are a few extra bubbles that take away from the overall photo, so I do a bit of refining. This one had some specks that weren’t a part of the glass and needed a bit of sharpening. Much to explore!
