Capturing light....

It seems that you can capture light in glass....

No...I know that is not really true,

but take a look...

It appears that the light is coming from inside the glass.

But, it is not.

I love taking glass around the house, out

on the deck, down to the patio,

even on the floor in front of the kitchen window...

I play with the position until I see something...

I can't tell you exactly what I look for....

but I can show you.

See how the photo above shows a certain clarity?

See how the wood that the glass is sitting on

doesn't appear to be "in the light"?

See how there appears to be ripples in the glass?

I have to admit

that I collect "art glass".

Not now, there is little money for that right now...

but in the past I have collected a wide variety of

glass, blown, not molded.

My hero would be Chihuly...

but finding interesting glass is not necessarily an

expensive hobby....

the glass above came from the dollar store....
