Custom Glass Art

I have always admired works of art. People usually relate art to ‘’oil-on-canvas’’ or a lofty tune by a symphony orchestra, but that’s not at all the case. If you know how to play the bongos or a ukulele and do it well) you certainly qualify as an artist. I regard art as a beautiful expression of one’s special talents. With that in mind, I must admit that I always marvel at a friend of mine who is a glass artist. The term may not sound familiar and that’s because they’re not common and they are also sometimes underappreciated.

I think that when someone can mold a piece of glass and give it a specific shape or set of colors that can help transform that piece from a grotesque block or film of crystal into a masterpiece. I say grotesque not undermining the raw form of the matter but rather emphasizing its untransformed state. After the artist injects their ability, the outcome is wonderful eye-candy.

My friend has done beautiful sculptures and also custom glass art panels. Because of their large size, she only does the panels if someone orders them. This is something she does on the sides on top of her regular job. Her designs are simply mesmerizing. I have seen panels resembling the image of Jesus or a saint, Virgin Mary or a Cross. She doesn’t necessarily focus exclusively on religious concepts but those are the ones that are most frequently ordered.

A particular item that gets ordered very frequently is the couple’s sculpture for wedding cakes. She as an artist will not however deliver a generic design, no. She will ask the bride and groom something about their taste, their preference and their quirks to make the design truly special. I endorse my friend whenever I can by referring her work to others or simply by ordering her products whenever I can afford to. Remorse is never the outcome.
