Artistic Dresses
Looking for a one of a kind holiday dress? Although I was unfamiliar with the Weisser Glass Studio and Gallery in Kensington, MD I’m glad I know about it now.

I’ve seen his work in Design Within Reach but ran across this in depth article regarding his creative process on Seeds and Fruit blog, which I found very informative. I see a raindrop in this one: I could use this Dondola rocking lounger this week, but there is no time to rest, unfortunately. I’m back on site work today. This float looks so relaxing: I just happened to write about other geometric designs on Slipcovers for Your Walls.
