Summer Preview

Posted by cmgaylard on April 17, 2021 at 6:55 PM


A handful of summer, a little early - but I’m working on a series of rings specifically for the Art For Cure exhibition: Blue Sky which opens in May. Not colours I’d usually be reaching for yet but they are generating their own mood!

Clouds

Cloud ring, I know they look more like clouds when I etch the cloud - but the play of light over the billows of this glass ring is so lovely I just left it. One of twelve ring designs I’ve made for the upcoming Art For Cure exhibition Blue Sky.

Spring

Pretty much the colours on my workbench today and the usual Suffolk proportions of sky to land, perfect day!

Other Places

I’m summoning up summer at the torch for the upcoming @ArtForCure event: Blue Sky. Do these shapes and colours take you somewhere in particular? I’m curious as I’m making them for a place I’ve never been to.

Shut & Open

Wave

Wave #glass ring in natural light, every angle yields different colours and shapes - and each ring is different as I sculpt them, one at a time, in the flame.

Snow, sun, strong winds hailstones, sleet - all the April weather in one day and a calm, COLD sunset. #aldeburgh

Creation Myths

Posted by cmgaylard on April 5, 2021 at 9:55 AM

I’m telling tiny, #glass Marginalia stories for your ears. ‘The Fall’ and ‘Creation Myth’. ‘Pilgrim’ and for scale. I reckon if I had my ears pierced four times (some decades ago) in order to increase their potential for adornment, then starting with three and working upwards seems perfectly reasonable?

Easter Sunday
