Glass and Light Sculptures

The Modern & Contemporary Design Blog highlighted a handful of light sculptures in a recent post. I am totally mesmerized by two of them. One being the chandelier-style sculpture shown above made with vintage glassware from Canada. What a piece of nostaligia and art all rolled into one.

The other is this piece that seems to incorporate scientific glass blowing with various other elements worked in a torch. Although I don’t think these pieces are used in a scientific manner, it is interesting to see how that component is mixed with neon tubing.

Be sure to follow the link to MoCo above to see other light sculptures and get the links to the individual artists.

Okay, full confession—we don’t have any babies in our life right now, but that doesn’t stop me from swooning over sweet little sewing patterns like this adorable goose baby lovey! I mean, how could you resist that soft, cuddly face and those tiny wings? It’s giving timeless nursery charm with a modern handmade twist.

This pattern comes as a PDF with a helpful English video tutorial, so it’s perfect for confident beginners or anyone wanting to try their hand at sewing softies. It’s designed to be both a comfort toy and a keepsake—just the kind of thing little hands love to hold, and mamas love to treasure.

Maybe it’s time I start putting a few baby patterns away for the (not-too-distant?) future—grandchildren stash, anyone? Even if you’re not sewing for a little one right now, this pattern is a total heart-stealer and would make the most beautiful handmade baby shower gift.
