Design is beauty-glass art and umbrellas
(if you click the picture it will take you to the site its on)
You know what I learned about glass art? ILearned that Egyptians
used furnaces 5000 years ago to make small vessels that involved
a technique called core-forming. Glass, clay, sand, and dung
is the matted mixture they used to wrap around a metal mandrel,
then moled it into the shape of the vessel they wanted. Then dried.
After that artisans would heat cane in the vent-hole at the top
of the furnace and wrap the softened cane around the core.
This causes elaborate decorations and beautiful objects to
be made. ALso, they were considered very important in the
Egyptian society so therefore, cared for in burial tombs so
that they are in great condition today. The site that deserves
credit for this information is : http://www.glass.co.nz/lampwork.html
Now, i have more to say on glass art. I love the way glass
reflects like a prism and looks like a rainbow. I think that’s really intersting. I
love the way glass goes around a drink. You get a different feel than using a
cup and different taste I’m told and actually notice anyways. I don’t hear
about too many showcases of glass art, but I know there’s got to be some.
It would be nice if more states had them. Then you would see some thing like
this glass art here:

I’ve always thought it was cool how they can make different sounds from
glass.
But I’ve wondered how someone can sing so high they can break
glass. Amazing how the voice affects glass. Back to glass music though,
this man plays yankie doodle on glass like its an instrument. I wonder
do some popular songs come from glass music. Check out the glass
music by clicking this url:

Umbrellas are another form of design. I especially enjoy the
spiral colors on umbrellas and the see through umbrellas like the
one on this site: http://mightygoods.com/archives/2004/10/rainclear
I notice more umbrellas because of Umbrella song by Rihanna.
When I listen to the song I’m in the zone so deep it feels
like I’m mesmerized by such sound. And if i could make
a new word it would be Umbrellarize (umbrella, mesmerize combined)
And since umbrellas remind me of the song, here is a cool
url to the remix of Umbrella and its only involving Rihanna in
the remix:

This remix is the one with Rihanna and Chris Brown:
