HAND BLOWN GLASS
Blenko Glass
some of the most beautiful colors
brilliant shades of reds and golds
amber if that is your thing
it sure is mine
sugar is one thing they use
to get the color just right
starting out as a lava hot liquid
it is amazing to me
just how it is
that they can make something so beautiful
and fragile ...... just with a mere human hand
unique and different pieces
coming from artists
as unique and different
as the pieces they blow
a dying art this is for sure
amazing to watch
nine years, that is what it can take
to become a glass blower
hummmmm........
don't think I am ready for that just yet
Good poem Renee' I gotta admit, those 2 Blenko bears sure do look great just hanging out together on the window sill. I'm glad you turned me on to the beauty of the Blenko Glass Company. And the special on Public Access tv was great. I actually enjoyed the stuff they showe during the pledge breaks as much as if not more than the special on the company itself. Love ya, Goldeneagle
Hi Renee I liked this one too! I love the work these people do. I bought a friend of mind a set of dolphins done by a glass blower and they were just so gorgeous. They are very talented people indeed! Great read. Roz :)
Blenko??....Hhmm...i am not sure myself. smilezs...is it a brand? I seen people doing such things before...and yes, the grace and bright shimmers of it, is simply worth a theme for a poem...which u penned so beautifully. Smilesz. Thanxs.
me too ! and the same goes for the poem... amber glass! hmm! lovely!! but I have a confession Renee! what is Blenko? Excuse my ignorance..but as English is not my first language, sometimes...it takes time for me to find meanings of words... :(
Renee, I love hand-blown glass. I have a few pieces of various hand-blown glass. It is so fragile and delicate. I just love it. Neat piece!
