Capturing mini-universes in glass, by artist Satoshi Tomizu.
Gosh
As a writer an artist, having my own little universe in my hand speaks to me in a deep, visceral way.

The Dream Garden by Maxfield Parrish, Philadelphia | March 2018
OOH!
This is a glass mosaic made by Tiffany – designed by Parrish – composed of over 100,000 glass tesserae in about 260 colors.
Parrish refused to attend the official unveiling in 1916 in Philadelphia (after its initial showing at Tiffany studios, New York).
Tiffany, in a subtle put-down of Parrish’s criticisms, wrote publicly that without his favrile glass it would have been impossible to achieve the desired effect.
Restoration work was done after 2016 construction in the building caused damage to some of the tiles.

TORK Industrial ARTifacts@angellovehim this is basically what the little area Peaches hangs in looks like, but with more rose bushes and trees and grass.
Just imagine a world full of beautiful stained glass windows which also generate electricity…
BUCKYYYY
Bucky, finally in stained glass edition! With silverfoil (mirror glass) for his arm and beautiful snow glass for the background, because RUSSIA. Complete with sadness eyeliner of doom.
It is also now FOR SALE on etsy! Along with my other pieces. It would take a while to ship because of the logistics, but it’ll get there.
The photos are terrible, my apologies. I was just really excited to post it. Almost done with my newest piece, ran out of solder before I could make the frame (sadness times infinity).
The image is inspired by the art of very, very talented tumblr user axeeeee.
Bonus progress pictures.

Giant Ocean Waves by Mario Ceroli
Jim Dingilian proves that a creative and skillful artist can create works of art with just about anything. By coating the interior of empty glass bottles with black smoke and then carefully brushing it away with tools mounted on dowels, he creates detailed and beautiful but dark works of smoke art that are dripping with a sense of suburban decay (via Bored Panda).
