here's a shot of some of the DUSTY pieces we were looking thru in the warehouse...and this is where we were buying the glass from...how funny...these are examples of oil candles...they are just missing the wick and oil and have lots of dust....
this is Gigi...he's a typical romanian...he drove me and the three other women to the glass factory, mostly because he knew where he was going and made the appointment...plus, he has a car and needs to earn money to keep it...so he's a full time driver for some of the teachers at school...he's a great guy and really helpful...like when you don't know what a word is for a specific thing from the grocery store or where to buy something...he's playing with a dusty piece of glass from the warehouse....i think he was a bit bored while we all were shopping...but he didn't complain...
aren't these guys cute...they are cartoon characters made from glass by the main artist...i guess he was trying to say that there was something phallic about them as well...but we didn't get the joke because our romanian was soooo bad...oh well...i thought they were cute...
i loved this gazebo of glass...these i guess had been hanging here for quite a while...but it made such a nice pictures...on the left side...the white stuff behind the gazebo is all broken glass...not sure if its from when they were blowing the glass or if it from pieces of glass that broke at some point...the pile of it was HUGE!!!!
okay..that's it in the way of glass shots...more shots from my romanian experience coming up :)

That's gorgeous. It reminds me of some of the Chihuly installations around here. I need to sign up for a glass-blowing course.
