 "William Bernstein
(b. 1945) US 'Woman and Fangs Face Off' 1979, Blown, hot worked,
cane drawing applied while hot. 28.4 cm tall, p. 113
MF. Combines the clear that I like, with the tactile, with the
drawing I would like to do. I need to pull some clear cane. 2001-08-31
 "Sonja Blomdahl
(b. 1952) Sphere, 1986, 26.2 cm tall. p.70"
MF - Shows incalmo technique,
two cups being brought together edge to edge.
 "Matthew Buechner
(b. 1957) US "Autumn Leaves" Scent bottle from the Four
Seasons series 1987, blown cane drawing applied while hot."
p.79
MF I like the quality of the drawing - blown around the bottle -
and within my skills as worker. 2001-08-31
 'Pauline Delaney,
(b. 1959) England, now working in Australiam 'Neurot Tiara' 1982,
Blown, hot-worked rim" p.174,
MF - I really like this piece, the formal shape contrasted with
the multiple ribbed added bit on the lip, more striking for being
clearly added because of the color difference. 2001-09-02fs
 "Thomas Fleming
(b. 1951) US Goblet #10-AJ, 1978, Blown glass with mixed media,
engraved." p.88
MF Although this is a two part assemblage with the white material
almost certainly clear silicone sealant, I scanned it because I
like it as a possible blown idea, although very hard (for me) to
do. If you enlarge the image (click on it) you will see the
footed (outer) goblet has a ragged/broken edge and the upper
goblet bowl is set inside it. 2001-8-31
 "Hans Godo Frabel
(b. 1941) US 'Hammer' 1978, Flameworked" p.165 MF - although
this is lampworked, it is in the spirit of the Tool Series I
sketched out to fuse, cast, or furnace work so it is here as a
reminder.
 "Richard Harned
(b. 1951) US 'Goblet' 1977, ... Blown hot-formed inclusions"
p. 161
MF I scanned this because I like the shape and the three piece
structure, which is barely within my abilities. I don't actually
like the colored inclusion (don't like the shape in big wood
sculptures either) but as I sit here looking at it, first liking
the overall shape, that several interesting things might be done
with the center section - marbles, bubbles, insert piece with
bubble.
 "Paul Hoff (b.
1945) Sweden, Transjo Hytta, 'Brush Bowl' 1983, ... Blown,
Sandblasted, engraved. ht: 13.8 cm, dia 23.2 cm" p152
MF: scanned because I really like the shape and the detail of the
foot, contrasting color and slight extra stability, especially
visually. The Brushes are the images sandblasted and etched
across the bowl. When I entered the dimensions, I realized the
image distorts or the size is wrong, because as given it is twice
as wide as tall and as shown it is about as tall as wide.
 David R. Huchthausen
(b. 1951) Fantasy Vessel No. 21, 1976 18.1 cm tall. p.68. Color
drawn with cane on hot on various layers as piece is developed.
MF I like the multilayer concept, within my limits as glass

 "Paolo Martinuzzi ( b. 1933) Italy, untitled,
1976, blown, inscribed 23 cm ht." p 164
MF I scanned this because I really like the effect of the simple
circular scribing. With the given height (about 9.5" of
which the base is about 1.5") There are about 50 lines from
the center to the top rim and about 65 from the center to the
bottom and looking very closely, the lines go around the
shoulder, they weren't just scribed with a compass. If the glass
ht is 230 mm minus 40 mm for the wood, thus 190, the lines are
just under 2 mm apart, perhaps 1/16th inch!
 "Thomas Patti
(b. 1943) US 'Solar Riser Series #LH4 Laminated sheet glass,
blown, cut, polished and signed. ht 14.1 cm" p.203
MF I really like the blown bubble in the two colors sheet glass.

 "Corey R. Powers
(b. 1949) US, Untitled, 1981, Blown, manipulated while hot. 14.1
cm hi" p.187
MF - I was first struck by how lamplike this looked, but closer
examination of the original picture showed that the clear bottom
is solid and the white cone may be a color skin on a bubble. The
top may be solid. There is more glass here than first sight
suggests. Would like to see the original. And still like it as
the basis for a lamp. 2001-09-02
 "Livio Seguso
(b. 1930), Italy, 'Particulars Extending'" p. 142
MF a stunning piece of hot formed clear glass (like the Glassblower on the same page), close
examination of the photo suggests it is a plate shape bent in the
middle and applied to the egg shape, although it could be that
the egg was plunged into the end of a flattened bubble which was
then trimmed and shaped. Since there is no visible punty mark, it
was presumably ground and polished off.
 "Josh Simpson
(b. 1949) 'Grid Bubble' 1983, Hot-formed, air trap, ht: 8.5 cm"
p. 229
MF the perfect sphere, catching the grid on the back, is neat.
The specs do not indicate the front is ground flat and polished,
but it would seem to have to be, to me. 2001-09-02
 "Sybren Valkema
(b. 1916) 'Unica' 1973, The Netherlands, 29.6 cm tall" P. 63
(used in GLOS-BIT.HTM) Like
effect of dripped trail across color.
 "Sylvia B Vigletti
(b. 1933) US untitled, 1977, Hot-worked glass with air
trap reduced internal silver veiling" p. 128
Scanned to illustrate Air Trap, shows example that is open, and
how it was made can be seen, but the perfect sphere is difficult.
Also illustrates Veiling.
 "Goran Wärff
(b. 1933) Sweden, Kosta Boda, 'The Glassblower' from the 'Glass
is Liquid Series' 1981 " p. 142
This was scanned because it was so silly and delighted me, even
if I could//would not make it. The quality of the glass, the air
trap throat, the drawn on hot bits, and of course the glass
slopping out of the glass bowl
