The Nature of Mother Nature
Almost nothing in nature is completely round, smooth or even, so I avoid making my glass fruit and leaves too perfectly.I put on little splotches and speckles, make them a tidbit lopsided, and add other small imperfection so that each berry or leaf is unique.This makes them look much more real.
Process and Materials:
I make each of them by melting Italian glass rods in the flame of a torch.Every drupelet (cell) is individually applied over the surface of the fruit in a painstaking process and each has a slight vertical indentation.I achieve the variations in the red color by selectively heating and cooling the glass, so the color will never rub, flake or chip off.No two glass raspberries are exactly alike.Like real raspberries, my lampwork raspberries are mostly hollow and have a matte surface. When the raspberries are handled, the natural oils from your skin enhance this soft sheen.
Sustainability:
The packaging for your order has been reduced as much as possible while still preventing glass breakage.Everything that's left is made from recycled, sustainable or repurposed materials. Brown packing tape can be recycled right along with the cardboard boxes and paper inserts or filler. The organic Kapok fiber padding inside your gift box will biodegrade, but not fast enough for curbside composting.Please put that in your regular trash. Even the red stretch ribbon on your gift box (which also goes in regular trash) was bought at a second-hand shop and repurposed! 🙂
Photography:
The photos above are representative of the glass red raspberry sculptures I make in this style.The sculpture you receive will be similar to, but not exactly the same as, the one shown above. There will be some minor variations in the shape, size and color patterns of each sculpture.
