I enjoy the challenge of trying to find interesting compositions or images in some of the blown glass pieces I have at home, especially in winter
when the cold offers no motivation to photograph outside. This is a light rework of an earlier image; aiming straight down on a very bulbous,
tear-drop-shaped vase, made in the encalmo technique, joining 3 different sections of molten glass (blue, gold cane, red).

Thank you, Lisa! #10011593Mitch Spence April 15, 2013
Chris, I'd love to see your collected glass pieces. You must enjoy it so when afternoon light angles in and touches them. Good deep colors here, and very pleasing circular forms. #10654658Amanda D. Austwick April 15, 2013
Love the circles and colors Chris! #10655051Chris Budny April 16, 2013
Thank you both! Mitch - it would be quite a slideshow to put together all the glass I've collected over the years - it borders on "glass hoarding" I think ;) If you swing through DC ever, I'll give you the glass tour ;) #10655601Michele Peterson April 16, 2013
I love this, the curves and colors are perfect!! A slide show would sure be fun to see, btw! HTD! #10655781Chris Budny April 17, 2013
Thanks, Michele & Joanna! #10656737Peggy Pfister May 26, 2013
Congrats on this terrific finalist, Chris! #10707778Tammy Espino May 26, 2013
Congrats!!!!! :) #10708057Katarina Mansson May 27, 2013
Gorgeous lines, composition and colors. Congratulations Chris! #10708644Chris Budny May 27, 2013
Thank you all very much! This is a favorite piece of mine, partly because of the 3 body colors forming new colors when you look through the piece. The gold seen through the blue, makes green at the top, while the red body, seen through the blue neck, creates purple in the center of the image... #10709611Renee Doyle May 27, 2013
A true Chris B classic!! I have no doubt we will see this beauty again!! Congratulations! #10711134Chris Budny May 28, 2013

Thank you very much, Lindley! I had to dig up a few "old favorites" for resubmitting in April, having run out of new images, and this one caught my eye. #10713438JO ANN CLEVELAND June 11, 2013
