~Scarab Series~

Posted by Smiley on 11/9/2006
Featured

Beetle Quadrapod Bubbler,11-3/4" tall.

This beetle is from the Aristobia genus.
Aristobia is a beetle from Thailand.

This piece is part of a series inspired by the vessel work of my old shop mate artist Tim Lindemann (www.lindemannglass.com), aswell as Emanual Cesare's beetle sculptures.
I will be incorporating some sculptural scarab beetle studies in the upcoming ones.

This piece is just a warm up...if I've got the time I'd like to get a little nutty with some of the upcoming ones !

Thanks also to Tim for kickin' down some of his old origanal designs-The beetles & suns are sick!
Wait till you see the new ones i got in the works!

Thanks for looking...!

>>>>>> '97 <<<<<<

" I suddenly became stangely inebriated.The external world became changed as in a dream.Objects appeared to gain in relief; they assumed unusual dimensions;and colors became more glowing .Even self-perception and the sense of time were changed.When the eyes are closed, colored pictures flashed past in a quickly changing kaleidoscope. After a few hours,the not unpleasent inebriation,which had been experienced whilst I was fully conscious,disappeared.What had caused this condition ?"
~Albert Hofmann, Laboratory Notes (1943)
