The added bonus to how captivating and seductive things made of glass can be, is how photogenic they are. It was a pleasant surprise to end up with so many pretty images of all the pieces. In close up or extreme macro close-up, objects in glass very easily become images of incredible beauty. Whether light is bouncing off the surface or shining through a piece, the coloured, clear, smooth or textured glass looks fantastic. For me, I really set out just to blow glass and now I also get a real kick out of trying to get some fun images of the pieces. I hope you enjoy these photos.
Thanks for visiting.
