little dreams in glass and metal

I don't have any real insights. Just see for yourself. For some reason, the Fuller Craft Museum's website didn't have any pictures of the three exhibitions and now that everyone posts on Facebook instead of Flickr or Twitter, it's really hard to find things.
Good thing the Enamel Arts Foundation has a whole bunch of stuff.

There was a brooch depicting a scarlet macaw, pendants made from seagrass, trays splitting in two via mitosis, signal boxes, a scent bottle, stools made from recycled aluminum signs, and a necklace made from a hundred handgun triggers, which is quite possibly the best use for handgun triggers I can think of.

asakiyume (and anyone else reading this for that matter), you are free, nay, encouraged, to share these on Tumblr.


echoes of a million unheard screams


New Mexico Sunset. Big. Very big.


Sunkoo Yuh - False Start


Mitosis, made from found platters. Big.




Plates. Big.


Red Constellation Necklace. Big.


Turtle Stump. Big. The smaller figures remind me of Lisa Clague in a way.

There was a drumming ensemble called Crocodile River with a man from Connecticut, a man from Mali, and a woman from Burundi. The man from Mali did a call and response duet on his drum with a kid in the audience.

Autocorrect changed "al viento" which, for those of you who don't habla Español, is Spanish for "to the wind" or something, to Vientiane, which may or may not be Pali for City of the Moon or Lao for sandalwood, even though there weren't any spiders in the exhibition.

The great thing is that all the enamel works are all the perfect size for my Livejournal. The themes were religion, nature, cityscapes, and abstracts.
These are the ones that caught my eye. There are more on the Enamel Arts Foundation's website.



Angel in Adoration

Midsummer


Moon Flags




Resurrection/Metamorphosis



But there's a lot of them so I'm putting them behind a cut anyway.
( And I mean a lot. )

There's more stuff on their website. And, wow, I've never seen imgur use a captcha and ask me if I was sure I was human before.

I've got nothing else. Uh, someone had a shirt that said I ♥♥♥ Hyrule. And an artist was there with his sculpture race (see down to the river), which was a thresher of waves along with some mermaids riding the chain and Japanese writing.

burning question: why isn't there a Principal Skinner's best moments on Youtube?
