I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles

Bubbles...in my glass world, of course they look like beads to me. The transparent ones are just like my clear glass...well- some clear glass. As we all know, clear glass isn't always clear enough for us.

But wait, I digress. I want to show you a new product. Zubbles. They are colored bubbles that you can blow. Presto pink & blazing blue are the two I currently see on their website.

And even better- the color disappears when exposed to air, water or pressure. Bottom line- no staining, non toxic and fun! They're working on more colors that magically fade like these and do have some that are washable- but you need to ask for those specifically. Easy peasy and another product for adults to enjoy.

Solos Glass- So Cool


American Craft Magazine recently had an article about Solos Glass, which caught my attention. Glass blower Nanda Soderberg along with his wife Rebecca Saunders take vintage pressed glass and then heats and spins them out flat. They transforms them into a variety of shapes to modern aesthetics.

Solos Glass
has been checking out unlikely objects to use as molds as well. It sounds like this company, is one we ought to keep an eye on.
