Fire and Ice – Floral & Tree Sculptures
Appropriately enough, right after my Cherry Blossom post, I remembered seeing this beautiful floral glass-blown artwork by Eric Edner as described in the Sierra Mountain Times. Clicking the first picture link will bring you to his interesting interview where he describes his creative process and gives a brief history of the fire and ice art of glass blowing.
These Skin/Glass trees by Beth Rekow are quite stunning with their LED lighting spotlighting their etched surfaces. They were on exhibit in Alberque, NM last summer but seem appropriate to post because they appear to me to bridge the gap between our cold winter and spring, which has yet to fully get here weather wise.
Going to Beth Rekow’s website, I was surprised to discover not just artwork but artistic home furnishings from consoles, to beds to feather lamps and entry doors.
Choosing music to Kick Start the Weekend that ties in with this could be difficult but how about a Shirley Bassey interpretation of The Doors, Light My Fire. I can see this version being used in a James Bond movie. This is a pretty sharp version but if want to see her perform, go to the second link:

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
