<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Whatever
you want to call them, these pieces are ultimately one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry
which serve a function: the oil of your choice inside the vessel supplies you
with a whiff of balance, health and energy. To see examples of vessels I've made please visit my <a href="http://lilianabead.com/bodyWork.htm" target="_blank">website </a>and <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/lilianabead/lilianabead/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">When
I'm surrounded by friends, I'm often surrounded by my glass vessels. Why?
Because life happens and we all need something to help us cope with those
moments.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">My first vessel was born
when a friend asked me to make one for her adult daughter who has special needs.
My friend had decided, with essential oils, to help her daughter come off a few
of her dozens of different medications. The only way she figured she could do
it is by putting the oil into a pretty necklace that her daughter would want
to wear all the time. Well, it worked!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Looking back, I'm happy
to say that it worked for them and for many others who choose to have the oils
at their side contained in an art glass small vessel worn on a necklace. The
following is a quote from a friend, "My vessel focuses all my senses
on the beauty of the moment - captured by Liliana in glass - and helps put
life's stresses (big and small) into perspective."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">All you need is a drop
of essential oil (to avoid spillage) which will last you for a couple of weeks. You
may renew the scent with a fresh drop or give your vessel a rinse with soap
water and try a new oil. Essential oils can be found online or, as I’ve been
doing, acquire them at Whole Foods. If you’re worried about spillage, place a
tiny piece of cotton on the bottom of your vessel to absorb the oil. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">I often design and create
vessels based on specific requests about color, thematic aura and other elements preferred by the person in question. My absolute favorite is being able to imagine the person for whom the piece is destined and think of her all along the process till the vessel is ready. All vessels are made of glass which is properly annealed and constructed so that it
lasts forever. However, it is glass so treat it accordingly… with care..</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">I love sharing my technique and my approach to designing and creating small vessels. In order to benefit from my class, the student needs to be conversant in lampwork vocabulary and own his/her skill with moderate certainty. If not, then our journey will start with learning how to wind discs and make hollow beads. Secondly, we will learn how to blow small balls on the end of a pipe with an even bubble inside and a balanced distribution of glass around it. One exercise in class is all about designing and making handles on a barrel glass bead. Handles take longer sometimes than the vessel itself because of everything we're feeling: there's this sense of profound relief after having brought the piece to its fruition and, yet, the handles turn to be a bit tricky. That's why a week-long class is the best way to arrive at a point where all the exercises we do make sense and bring great results. All along, sprinkled atop everything we make, we will imagine color and design, and develop a sense of personal voice in our expressions.</span></div>

<u>Liliana (L)</u>: [pause]<br />
<br />
No matter how long I take to look at the to-be-appraised-in-terms-of-time piece handed to me, it's more often that I give an answer because it is a question after all and it requires some sort of answer which is valued more if given in units of time. Except, even though I don't have trouble counting minutes and after so many years of doing it I could intuitively tell how many minutes something took to make, I hesitate because the location in my brain where the answer lies momentarily gets flooded with hard-to-sequence minutes, and hours, and days when I lose track of time.<br />
<br />
Time becomes irrelevant when I'm behind the torch, rod in hand with a beautiful, hot flame which is as eager to veil my glass with heat as I am to discover something new while melting the glass with some imaginary purpose. This purpose is somewhat ill-formed and yet it acquires so much speed and determination in this complicated dance of multiple participants whose moves are predetermined by their very existence.<br />
And, yet, here I am, planning ahead for resources including glass rods and tools on my station, plenty of propane in the tank and a well-running source of oxygen, and time. How long will this take me? Do I have the time right now to dedicate myself to this experiment?<br />
<br />
Over the years I have prepared myself plenty o'times for wasted glass, wasted propane and oxygen, wasted electricity, and well-deserved pain in my hands and my back for sitting down at the torch for too long, for dry and sensitive eyes. Wasting time is one concept that I've been able to manage better than feeling my pain and the regret peeking out the counting of fewer rods in my vast collection of glass. Why do you ask? The only way I can answer this question is in units of love - I feel love to infinity when I'm behind the torch and melting glass.<br />
<br />
<u>J</u>: How long did it take you to make this bead?<br />
<u>L</u>: This bead represents a collection that took me three years or so to develop and feel good about so that I could systematize the process and make one in about 1 hour.<br />
<u>J</u>: [shakes her head in disbelief] And how much is it?<br />
<u>L</u>: $65.<br />
<br />
Units are important, I know. Some conversations have to be concise and very clear. Oftentimes the subject of such conversations is not value but rather something more quantifiable and measurable: time in minutes or hours, cost in dollars, etc. etc. These conversations do become more substantive in value as I develop relationships with my students and customers; my students make wonderful customers :-) since they arrive at value the hard way through their own practice of the theory I teach them and the demonstrations in my classes. I find it easier to have conversations of value with people who I see more than once and instead of making sentences at each other we venture into story-telling, each story - one block at a time - gets placed into a foundation of important relational significance and investment into time.<br />
<br />
<u>J</u>: What was on your mind when you made this? [J is pointing to a necklace with a large focal bead the upper part of which is a vast sky in a few colors of blue. The lower half is a horizon of tall skinny grass on a hot silvered beach.]<br />
<u>L</u>: This piece and 10 others sprung out of a time in my life when I needed space. I felt burdened emotionally and I need silence. Most of the time I feel silence and peace when I'm at the ocean or I'm looking at fine artists' depictions of space by a large body of water.<br />
<u>J</u>: [shakes her head vigorously] That's exactly it! I felt so peaceful and rested when brought this bead to my eyes and when I felt it in my hand.<br />
<u>L</u>: [smiles and shakes her head in agreement]<br />
<br />
Not all conversations are equal. There's value in all of them. I appreciate all the opportunities I create and I'm given whether I'm in my showroom, at a show or in my classroom. Let's give each other chances to have all kinds of conversations and the value will unveil itself at some point no matter the cost.<br />
<br />
The "Unselected Poem" below by <a href="http://www.christopherbursk.com/" target="_blank">Chris Bursk</a> is a reflection on the issues at hand. I hope you like it as much I did.<br />
<br />
VIII<br />
Say a man writes 2 poems a week for 50 years<br />
- take away 1 poem for every week<br />
his hands got distracted<br />
with a papier-mache Mount Vesuvius<br />
his daughter was molding<br />
or a fort he was building with hi Cub Scouts<br />
or a protest sign he held up at the statehouse.<br />
You do the math:<br />
52 weeks times 2 poems a week equals 104,<br />
minus 15 neglected poems equals 89,<br />
times 50 years equals 4,450,<br />
minus 52 for the long year his mother took to die,<br />
minus 26 for the six months his father took to die.<br />
That leaves 4,372 poems by the time he's 70.<br />
Maybe 400 or so, if he's lucky, make their way<br />
into print, which leaves 3,972 poems<br />
just waiting to be thrown away when he dies.<br />
But, look, he's at work on yet another poem.<br />
<br />

Yes, these are my students (missing Becca who sneaked out before I could snap this photo). Some more advanced in the lampwork skill but mostly beginners, they took my Melting Through Glass week-long workshop at <a href="http://www.snowfarm.org/" target="_blank"><b>Snow Farm</b></a> this past August. You can probably tell that their aural predisposition continues beyond this moment and that they are all as cheerful, friendly, and simply wonderful all the time including when they pose for a photo. Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Arizona, Texas, New Jersey and Massachusetts - these states couldn't have been better represented. Yes, I mean that for the one from Texas as well! ;-) <span style="text-align: center;">I miss you all!!</span></div>

Check them out below. The beads are lying on top of one of our teaching aids and the adorning flora was carefully selected by our flower specialist who made sure that we always had beautiful local flowers to be inspired by while at the torch. All the beads and the display for our Gala event (organized at the end of the week to show student work in all the classes on campus) are products of my students' love for glass, creative energy and great camaraderie. The majority of the beads on display are by my students who had never made beads or melted glass ever before - amazing, isn't it?!!</div>

with interesting stories and engaging ways of telling them. They come to
learn new ways or perfect the ones they’ve already developed (whether in previous classes or self-taught) and to express themselves while gathered
in a community permeated with and lifted by creative energy. I thrive in this
energy myself as it is simply irreplaceable and much needed for our daily
survival!<br />
<div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I taught two classes. In my first class we spent three days having
<u><a href="http://www.snowfarm.org/details/product/glass-beadmaking-fun-with-hollows.html" target="_blank">Fun with Hollows</a></u>, and in my second class we focused on <u><a href="http://www.snowfarm.org/details/utm_source/April%20News%20/utm_campaign/13.04/utm_medium/email/product/glass-beads-and-buttons.html" target="_blank">Glass Beads & Buttons</a></u>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The week-end intensive workshop was about learning how to
blow hot glass into hollow glass beads and vessels, and how to create unique
shards to decorate a variety of surfaces. The blowing was probably what excited my students the most as it is quite complicated: one has
to be able to understand and apply several skills at the same time. The
intuitive feel that drives this process connects mind with body, and we see cool magic happening in front of our eyes.
And you should have seen those eyes!! As the ball on the end of the pipe was
getting bigger, so were the eyes. Accomplishment felt differently each time, but
the joy was pure and very motivating each time.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The week-long button class stayed unbuttoned all week. Four of the
eight students were complete beginners. They all opened
themselves up and stayed curious and excited throughout while taking on quite a
rigorous approach to practicing everything they learned. By the end of the
class everyone had an abundance of glass beads & buttons - and even a couple of beautiful marbles.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In addition to wanting to share my passion and knowledge of
lampwork, I have to admit that my absolute favorite aspects of teaching are:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;"> </span></span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Meeting and making new friends.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;"> </span></span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Seeing my students throw themselves into this
process and then watching their identities unravel while getting to know glass,
the lampworking process and the work they make.</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Witnessing a profound drive for self-expression
being realized in techniques that require hard work and a lot of attention.</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Sharing in the pure joy of holding one’s glass beads
and being able to pass that joy onto others.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I will be teaching one more class this season at Snow Farm,
<u><a href="http://www.snowfarm.org/details/product/through-the-melting-glass-introduction-to-making-beads.html" target="_blank">Through the Melting Glass: Introduction to Glass Beads</a></u>. We will spend an entire week
learning about soda-lime glass and many different
techniques to create and decorate shapes - all the while learning finding and learning more
about ourselves, which is not only rewarding but empowering as well. I'm certain that we will have both beginner and intermediate students in our class which makes the learning experience so much richer!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, let’s make more friends and definitely more beads!
Looking forward to seeing you in my classes.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
Sue Getchell and I have worked very closely and yet very independently on our distinct yet interrelated formulations leading to a series of three sculptures (so far), inspired by the Paracas Female Effigy (see previous post). We also owe thanks to Janet and Celeste.<br />
<br />
Thank you, Celeste, for guiding our research about the
Paracas Effigy and helping us discover significant anthropological narratives regarding its civilization of origin. The sociocultural and artistic values of this piece are deeply interconnected: symbols of snakes depicted on the body take on
meanings of power, light and darkness, present and future. Through discovery, our project of creating effigies evolved into imagining these people in their roles, shaded by today's understandings: a shamanka, a noblewoman, and a shaman.<br />
<br />
Thank
you, Janet, for nourishing my spirit and for taking on the task of
identifying the style of the braids on the Paracas Effigy and weaving
them carefully into these intricate contributions to the Female Effigy:
Shamanka.<br />
<br />
<br />
And here she is:<br />

<br />
Read below to shed some light on the meaning of this series in our artist statement.<br />
<br />
Imagine an effigy as your only portal to understanding a long-gone people - their ways of living, beliefs & values.<br />
The Female Effigy Jar (MFA Boston, Ancient Americas) that inspired the series of effigies created by Liliana Glenn & Susan Getchell, lampwork glass & fiber artists respectively, is attributed to Paracas (Peru), 200-1 B.C.<br />
The Paracas Effigy is known to depict the burial style in which the body was wrapped in many layers of intricate, ornate, & finely woven textiles. Its most prominent features include (1) the opening of the jar which signifies the mouth of the depicted individual and (2) snakes symbolizing power and life after death.<br />
After much research, Glenn & Getchell interpreted and executed a series of effigy sculptures re-imagining ways of living in a society, the roles individuals took on as its members. Looking back informs the artists’ own understanding of modern life; land & time are only superficial barriers to valuing artistic expression.<br />
<br />
We are very excited to have had the opportunity to work together and are looking forward to continuing our work in this series.<br />
The chance to apply to a publication provided a great impetus for the values we both hold dear i.e. always learning about the world: past and present, ourselves and each other, the media we seek expression in and the connections to many communities in which our identities are always evolving and thriving...<br />
<br />
... as are yours.<br />
Stay in touch!<br />

However, it rarely lasts... the wonder, unless I'm able to make a connection between that physical expression and my emotions, my feelings, my experience... </span></div>

<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: right;">
When I first saw this sculpture, I couldn't walk away from it without coming back, and again, in awe - it spoke to me of pain and despair, and it frightened me. This is when I decided to read about it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpfxflr6nL4-7jsfeph_loyAFqsOEAw2q3rU5XOXUdFUTYieaAIZX9PSWGXJwi5mvspxjsvvBf0CWD1ffsYvr3ICjlP1TUicp0favGXpimm2-HU3wmoxQrTi_eQiJB4XzJhGVKDZM4I2rV/s1600/mfa_tag.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpfxflr6nL4-7jsfeph_loyAFqsOEAw2q3rU5XOXUdFUTYieaAIZX9PSWGXJwi5mvspxjsvvBf0CWD1ffsYvr3ICjlP1TUicp0favGXpimm2-HU3wmoxQrTi_eQiJB4XzJhGVKDZM4I2rV/s200/mfa_tag.jpg" width="150" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As I knew more I felt even more with each dive into its history. The insides unraveled into scrolls and scrolls of experience in my extended family, my eyes stirring at the hands of my grandmother and her mother's sitting in front of a loom, carefully placing each thread, one in front of the other as if they are her children who, if placed just right, will eventually unveil themselves and their role in this tightly spun piece of social fabric.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is no wonder that, after many years since their passing, I wrap my memories of them and their influence in my life in images and objects like this effigy and many others included in the Ancient American Collection at the MFA. I feel the connection to the people who buried their dead and insisted on having something less biodegradable to remember them by. The objects they created were appropriate expressions in their times, and yet, two thousand years later, they transcend and arouse emotions that I understand and feel really deep inside me. These are words, images, narratives and gestures that unite us all across time and land.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, here I am, in my studio creating while connecting while channeling the aesthetic appeal of this piece. From raw emotion to tight design, while seeking direction, which aspects am I invested in as a maker? <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUQpqTn6FBTxvzE6PmxS6ISPPL1urU5iwQAM5gh1DRx7FTMNO1nRcC7dcdiwlJFAi3l0ymGsA75-juNKvIDO5Apg9d_LuJmwQBRC5_D_3rLSvGe6FaPtcKAnZu9-nQn-T5yEk7I_gWkXUR/s1600/lampworking_head.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUQpqTn6FBTxvzE6PmxS6ISPPL1urU5iwQAM5gh1DRx7FTMNO1nRcC7dcdiwlJFAi3l0ymGsA75-juNKvIDO5Apg9d_LuJmwQBRC5_D_3rLSvGe6FaPtcKAnZu9-nQn-T5yEk7I_gWkXUR/s200/lampworking_head.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>

So, here are a few pics of the work I've done. They are beads in three categories which will then become components of one sculpture: a face, a body and footing.</div>

I was inspired by her origins, history, cultural significance and objet-d'artistic existence amid a multiplicity of archaeologically meaningful counterparts of the Pre-Colombian South America. I haven't stopped thinking about her since.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Even though I prefer to claim spontaneity when it comes to visiting the MFA - I am a member after all - I had a reason to go this time. You see, there's a call for submissions to <a href="http://www.larkcrafts.com/submit/calls-for-submissions/" target="_blank">Lark Crafts</a> for a publication to showcase 1000 beads. All media are welcome and the juror is Kristina Logan. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What a great opportunity to let imagination run loose, articulate questions and develop ideas out of issues and circumstances that wash over me like waves quite often but always retrieve into the ocean of life and living thus remaining untold and yet always there!<br />
<br />
This is also a chance to seek opportunities for more conversation and connection with a fellow creative person whose work I like and whose process I would like to learn more about.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sue designs and hooks rugs in addition to felting large and small. I have enjoyed her company, as well as her business over the years ( thank you, Sue! ), and I asked her whether she'd be interested in working with me on submitting to this publication. We've already met and talked; she's as excited about the Female Effigy Jar as I am. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, will the Female Effigy Jar come to being reincarnated and present itself as a bead? If so, the circumstances surrounding its rebirth will be different and yet omnipresent. We are two women living and creating in the 21st century and we are on a quest to learn more about ourselves, each other, our media as means to shaping a connection with an ancestral past.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You're welcome to be a part of this journey. Connect with me and us here.<br />
<br />
Message from Sue:<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">I feel so honored to be asked to bring my experiences to the table and create a joint project. Hard/soft, cold/warm are just a few of the characteristics that this endeavor will bring to light. Who are we connected to when we work separately on the same piece; past, present, both? </span></div>

My ears are serenaded by Vincent Delerm and my eyes are following a naughty and free squirrel whose purpose, it seems, is to carefully jump from one branch to another of grape and kiwi vines which hold Sabine's porch in a bold embrace.<br />
<br />
I'm in Montreal, visiting and enjoying the much welcome imminence of Spring.<br />
Yesterday, in the city of Montreal, I saw a gallery of Inuit Art the doors of which had already been closed by the late hour but the promise of tomorrow was born by the wings of a beautiful owl staring right at me. Most of the bird was comprised of whale bones including her body - a very large whale vertebra. Today, if it doesn't rain too badly, I will head out to the gallery in hope of meeting the sculpture in person and looking for more.<br />
<br />
This vacation feels like a nice reward for a very busy few months. 2011 has brought much vivacity into my mostly quiet studio routine.<br />
<ul><li>Several of the LilianaBead Collections are available for sale at the <a href="http://www.mfa.org/">Museum of Fine Arts Boston</a> in conjunction with <a href="http://www.mfa.org/exhibitions/chihuly">the Chihuly Exhibit</a>.

<br />
I don't usually write to ask for political help, but I am now. <br />
<br />
I am really worried about the serious assault being made on a number of government programs that to me are at the core of a fair, just, and democratic society.<br />
<br />
Here are items the US House has voted to eliminate entirely or cut deeply:<br />
<br />
NPR and PBS<br />
Public financing for presidential elections<br />
AmeriCorps<br />
the Corporation for National Service<br />
civic and history education programs<br />
immigrant civic integration grants<br />
enforcement of net neutrality regulations<br />
election reform grants from the Election Assistance Commission<br />
Fulbright and cultural exchange programs<br />
Head Start<br />
block grants for jobs for inner city youth<br />
Environmental Protection Agency<br />
mass transit<br />
<br />
I'm sure I'm leaving out some items.<br />
<br />
THESE CUTS ARE NOT ABOUT BALANCING THE BUDGET; THEY ARE ABOUT A RADICAL RESHAPING OF U.S. PRIORITIES. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The wealthiest Americans have had their tax cuts extended. No one dares touch the military budget. If you'd like a particularly egregious example, the House voted to continue funding $28 million per year for the US military to advertise at NASCAR events!<br />
<br />

I decided to submit a piece that's been in my mind for some time. My sculpture, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">U</span></i><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ntitled</span></i></b></span> , measuring about 24" long (see photo below), was juried in. This blog entry is about the creative/manufacturing process behind this piece<br />
<br />
I've had a fascination with seeds and pods long enough to have created a few abstract collections in glass. I've long been attracted by the magic of pods and the engineering behind their most important functions of protecting, transporting and disseminating.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, while dedicating more than ten years to glass and its artistic properties, I've considered beads to be like seeds. Beads are elements of a larger concept; their function is to propagate an impregnate the world with visions executed in glass. To me, glass is one of the most interesting, evolving and alive media in that it continuously interacts with its environment, light in particular. Glass renders itself to be imagined and transformed.<br />
<br />
Before I take you through the manufacturing process, you may want to consider what some others have expressed before us.<br />

I made my sketches with pencil & paper and then made the beads. In between bead days, I went to a couple of fabric stores and decided to go with a felted material made of recycled plastic bottles from <a href="http://sewfisticated.com/framingham-ma-store/">Sewfisticated</a>. I decided on a solution for my form after spending a few hours at <a href="http://www.dickblick.com/stores/massachusetts/boston/">Blick</a> - <a href="http://www.dickblick.com/products/styrofoam-blocks-and-shapes/">two cones of styrofoam</a> linked together with wire and glue (<a href="http://www.dickblick.com/products/weldbond-universal-adhesive/">weldbond-universal-adhesive</a>). Got my sewing machine out - all ready to go.<br />

For me this year will be more of the same because I love what I do - melt glass - and I am also planning on spending more time creating sculptural work. I will keep you posted.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, I'm inviting you to visit <a href="http://photosynthesis-artphotography.com/">http://photosynthesis-artphotography.com/</a> where you will find examples of art photography created by Marie Craig featuring my glass.<br />

<br />Silence is golden..
<br />I don't think this saying works in this paradigm and yet I have a lot of silence in my everyday life.
<br />I go to the studio in the morning -usually around 8am or so, turn NPR on and listen to it while working with my glass.
<br />Every once in a while I chat with my studio mates and fellow artists with whom I share projects and ideas. Most late evenings I go home and become an active member of a family of 7 - not exactly golden and not exactly silence... :)
<br />What about blogging? Hence this entry.
<br />
<br />Natick Artist Open Studios is coming up on October 16 and 17 here in <st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on">Natick</st1:place></st1:city>.
<br />I will be in my studio #2 at 43 <st1:place st="on">Main</st1:place> on the second floor. At least two new collections will be there for your viewing.
<br />
<br />I have a new collection of beads--inspired by the concept of water—into which I incorporate fine silver wire. This design is built on a specialty of mine - fine silver inside glass. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7xuL5enbjQ4stfNzP8ECxojaC4B1F8R7K2U0AOFxFiPZCVJbLXYVrfDq1KBgRVEheETxfdTtGK7da3NaZk7HK9WmsOpQ56tuLD4ngkZjMMbrKTPU42h9KIr4w03wYtxoQU3Fsez87inky/s1600/watercollection.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 280px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7xuL5enbjQ4stfNzP8ECxojaC4B1F8R7K2U0AOFxFiPZCVJbLXYVrfDq1KBgRVEheETxfdTtGK7da3NaZk7HK9WmsOpQ56tuLD4ngkZjMMbrKTPU42h9KIr4w03wYtxoQU3Fsez87inky/s400/watercollection.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525144452721676178" border="0" /></a>The wire technique introduces continuity while a prism of layers and layers of clear give the sensation of movement in these pieces.

Each time I look at one of these beads I see something different.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">
<br />I've heard wonderful feedback from my customers about these beads and several of them have become partners in aesthetically driven relationships... :) Yes, they are out there...
<br />
<br />There is another collection that may interest you. This one is a result of my collaboration with Marie Picard Craig - a <st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on">Natick</st1:place></st1:city> artist photographer. She's been working with me on my tutorials and occasionally photographing my work for a couple of years now. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4B_zhqmzFb4N3eRVGqgH9EZLNmDlZ02tAkeU4aXHjpXAGMBLHYTMYrm6ZHkLU-S94H9Nm7t2oZ5Pm9cM_GOVKarasVL4Swxv3UGb1IbvhcEDtDIMwQaHfs6aIMMjeXCBFaCWYOz-jn_ws/s1600/marieraspberries.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 280px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4B_zhqmzFb4N3eRVGqgH9EZLNmDlZ02tAkeU4aXHjpXAGMBLHYTMYrm6ZHkLU-S94H9Nm7t2oZ5Pm9cM_GOVKarasVL4Swxv3UGb1IbvhcEDtDIMwQaHfs6aIMMjeXCBFaCWYOz-jn_ws/s400/marieraspberries.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525144126465742290" border="0" /></a>Marie's talent and skill nurtured and fueled her interest to incorporate the photographs of my beads into her photos of nature. The end-result is simply amazing!</p><p class="MsoNormal">
<br />Marie and I are working on a book on the fruits of our creative relationship. In the meantime, we published a calendar to hopefully tease your interest and get you excited about our collaborative work.
<br />If you can't make it to the Open Studios and would like to acquire this calendar, please e-mail me to inquire about cost etc.
<br />
<br />Looking forward to hearing from and/or seeing you.
<br />Cheers

I giggled and read aloud to him:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">But this is all in the past, Nadia. Why you have such bourgeois preoccupation with all personal history?</span><br /><br />A few minutes later, Phil said, "When you're ready to take a break let's watch a few videos."<br />As he prepares to teach a course in conflict resolution, Phil is searching the web for interesting material to show in class.<br /><br />The website we went to is <a href="http://www.communicationandconflict.com/video.html">Communication and Conflict </a>where you will have the opportunity to view a multitude of videos on understanding conflict in communication. The purpose of these videos is to unveil a process by which the person who perceives a conflict is step-by-step led to understand it from the viewpoint of his/her own ultimate needs.<br /><br />Seeing these videos while reading my book, living my life, with multiple daily opportunities to manage conflict and perhaps even understand my role in it, I found the interactions in these videos entertaining and affirming.<br /><br />Conflict is socially constructed and it is driven by interpretations we choose to privilege. However, ultimately, to pursue our desire to liberate the self and experience peace and fulfillment, we must be responsible for our language use and what it accomplishes.<br /><br />All this has me thinking...<br />You?<br /><span style="font-style: italic;"></span>LilianaBeadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13308846679771011205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6844819566684834093.post-77717732815583395422010-04-09T09:17:00.000-07:002010-04-09T09:45:58.087-07:00Do come by the Fountain Street Open Art Studios this week-end.<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.fountainstreetstudios.com/openartist.html"><strong><span><span style=""> 14<span style="" class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Th</span> Fountain Street Open Studios Weekend</span></span></strong></a></span><span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;" ><br /><br /><strong><span> </span></strong></span><span style="font-family: verdana;font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;" ><span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);">April 9 - 11, 2010</span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102); font-family: verdana;font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;" ><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102); font-family: verdana;font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;" > Friday 6:00 - 9:00 pm </span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102); font-family: verdana;font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;" ><br /></span><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" ><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102); font-family: verdana;font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;" > Saturday/Sunday 11am - 5 pm</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;">Do come by and say hello.<br />The plethora of art and inspiration, the wonderful conversations and laughter - I've witnessed it all every year I've gone to visit or participate at Fountain Street Studios.<br /><br />This time I will be there with my pieces together in <a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.mariecraigphoto.com/mg/index.asp">Marie's Craig</a> and <a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.lehnertweb.com/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Gesa's</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Lenhert</span></a> studio on the fifth floor.

We met wonderful people and saw beautiful places.<br /><br />I feel that only now I suddenly have the urge to nurture the excitement I experienced while admiring the lushness of the forests and farmland, and the splendor of the Costa Rica flora and fauna. I felt it, I saw it and I heard it from our friend Eli who finished each sentence with an exclamation, "Purrrrrrrra Vida!" I burst into laughter each time she said it as if she was saying it for the first time. The fire in her eyes and the passion in her heart surprised me with its air of innocence and sincere love for her surroundings.<br /><br />I was very impressed by the <a href="http://www.waterfallgardens.com/lapaz-butterflies.html">La Paz Waterfall Gardens </a>where we spent several hours getting acquainted with and enjoying the ambience created for and by the flora, fauna and the visitors. I fell in love with the curious toucans and admired the serenity of the wild cats. I thoroughly enjoyed the insect and especially the butterfly sections where one could follow the metamorphosis. As we walked from one part of the Observatory to the other, the eggs unravelled themselves into larvae turned pupae and here they were: the butterflies emerging from the chrysalis and unveiling their intricate designs and elegance.<br /><br />As I was taken in by the experiences at the parc and the volcano trips we took, I didn't take one picture. Ever since a whale-watching trip where I took a bunch of photos and couldn't remember a thing afterwards, I decided that I would photograph with my eyes. Upon return, I researched and found a photographer whose work of the Rain Forest I connected to the most.<br />His name is <a href="http://www.thomasmarent.com/cms/">Thomas Marent</a> and his nature photography is exceptional and inspiring.<br /><br />So, here are some images of the glass pieces I created while fueled by the memories and the wonderful photographs (see above). They will be available soon in <a href="http://www.artfire.com/users/lilianabead">my artfire shop</a>.<br /><br />Enjoy :)<br /><br />PS: The images below are from the <a href="http://www.waterfallgardens.com/lapaz-butterflies.html">La Paz Waterfall Gardens</a> website.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhss8GGcQoEmXmeIMuerE1DxBoiQcaLqTodufjsepuCmk93I7Grbf-6sFKyo4jEuhEFr2AAXuhvyWtVyUfH3-SGVeoDfhhW-NO1-z3kPHg8W9LFex0wus53mS05pYFbRMh9RZeYAlTmAzbi/s1600-h/lifecycleofbutterfly.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 83px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhss8GGcQoEmXmeIMuerE1DxBoiQcaLqTodufjsepuCmk93I7Grbf-6sFKyo4jEuhEFr2AAXuhvyWtVyUfH3-SGVeoDfhhW-NO1-z3kPHg8W9LFex0wus53mS05pYFbRMh9RZeYAlTmAzbi/s400/lifecycleofbutterfly.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448622469695479922" border="0" /></a>LilianaBeadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13308846679771011205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6844819566684834093.post-72969917441394311862010-02-07T19:46:00.000-08:002010-02-14T16:08:43.951-08:00A New Tutorial: Heart Pendant<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuxNyFhKVMfI7DLtH22Tob_wtYgh9eXiXzpp_9PKj2yWxFIn0DKaG0oC1D4MDf5MjAntj2SqF-uIaRaH0VVBejnqgOksL9DY3th6cxf53oVYiyqISrlYzugQSDKzAu4c_hWO4p5ZQA66SX/s1600-h/Heart-Pendant-Tutorial.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuxNyFhKVMfI7DLtH22Tob_wtYgh9eXiXzpp_9PKj2yWxFIn0DKaG0oC1D4MDf5MjAntj2SqF-uIaRaH0VVBejnqgOksL9DY3th6cxf53oVYiyqISrlYzugQSDKzAu4c_hWO4p5ZQA66SX/s320/Heart-Pendant-Tutorial.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435715170216510882" border="0" /></a><br />It's just a week before St. Valentine's and I finished my new tutorial.<br /><br />I'm thrilled to be able to share this technique with whoever's interested.<br /><br />Ever since I learned to make hearts I've been feeling the same thing while creating - captured by the hot glass moving to the rhythm of gravity.<br />A nice journey which always turns into a beautiful heart.<br /><br />Looking forward to your feedback.<br /><br /><br />Happy St. Valentine's :)<br /><span class="status-body"><span class="entry-content">May we all give and have love.
