For the last ten years, the Chrysler PT Cruiser has inspired both love and hate. The retro look made the PT Cruiser one of the biggest moneymakers for Chrysler company. Just a couple years ago, in 2008, the car was put on life support. The 10 year history of the car is coming to a close as the final PT Cruiser is rolling off the line.

Recently, we opened another large Botanical Exhibition, this time at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden. Before the installation, I discuss with the team, based on photos, which sculpture will be installed where. However, it is always hard to predict what the end result will look like and I was very pleased when I saw the end result.

I finally finished the teapot!!!! It's been my biggest nightmare ever, but I also learned a few things.

Working around curves takes twice as long and a lot more frustrating than on a flat surface because it is so easy for the tiny shards of glass to fall before it gets to the glue.

I apologize, but I keep getting an error every time I try to upload a photo. For now, until the error is fixed, please view my Picassa Photo Album at http://picasaweb.google.com/karmatetra/MorphologyOfAVirusAttack?feat=dir...

This flower container is made by Francesca Joyce - what a wonderful idea to use it for real Orchids. Thank you for sharing.

Happily there are times when creative visualization, followed by creative action, brings forth into physical reality an artifact which exceeds the inspiring concept. I am fortunate to experience this joy in multiple fields of endeavor.

Lorraine C. is so kind to share this beautiful fountain with us. The bowl is created with 2 molds made from Kaiser Lee Board and the top tile has some interesting shell designs in it. These table top fountains are easy to take apart and can be cleaned in the dishwasher.

I've been experimenting with different materials and methods to see how my glass will hold up and on what material it can be done on. Ceramic is a definite as it grips the glass and by brushing resin over it, it can be wiped clean but still holds the appearance and texture.

Lynne was so friendly to share her fist project with us and I want share her nice email with you. Thank you very much Lynne.
