Morna and Gary got published

[Gary_B]

Morna and I were included in a new book about glass art. Thousands of images were submitted and both of us were chosen as well as several of our glass geek friends.

Here is one of the two pieces of Morna's that are in the book...

That sound you heard was me falling in a dead faint after being exposed to such beauty. Even on the internet the pieces look gorgeous and stunning.

I am constantly amazed at the talent displayed by all you Hellboarders.

We don't have any larger images than that here in our home computers. I'll try to post a bigger one tomorrow.

Yes, it just came out a couple of weeks ago. It's published by Lark Books.

The blue on the vase is alive!!!!
and I love the mass of Morna's 'core' series.

Gary, your work seems mind boggling complex. wow!

[Maija]

I got to see Gary's slide presentation when he was here (he was a featured artist at the Canadian Glass Conference) and learn all about how those pieces are made, and see the process (in slides). It's pretty damned cool, and complex.

Oh and of course I've seen both Gary & Morna's work in person. Photos are nothing like seeing it in person!

[morna]

woah! those turned out HUGE

scary!

[morna]

Btw if anyone should chance to see this vase in out there in the world - let me know as it's stolen property! The gallery in Montreal where it was being displayed got scammed on an internet sale - this was one of the two pieces (of mine!) that were involved. sigh a good piece in the hands of someone who doesn't deserve it. I hate that.

Congratulations, you two. Gary-I showed these images to one of my co-workers and she said she thinks that the designs on your first piece were etched in on the surface, and I told her that they were blown in. I hope I am right. Could you post that piece from a certain angle that will show what I stated was true? Thanks.

Gene - the shapes are separately made on the blowpipe and suspended so that they float in a solid mass of clear glass. These are the only other images I have of that piece...

Gary-Thank you for the explanation and the new images. Man, this is one complex piece. Absolutely amazing!!!

[THE REAL kirk]

Congrats to you both. I am not a big fan of glass work but I have to say that ALL of the peices shown here are outstanding and objects of rare beauty. Really impressive stuff. Well done!

[hellboyone]

The vase looks like it has lips. I wanna make out with it!! :o :oI don't think I needed to know that. Or have to be subjected to that mental image. :p
