Stone is like DNA that remembers the entire history of a place, says artist Ramon Todo. See more of his works bisected with glass today on Colossal.
I love the kiss-curl on this corbel head on Saint Mary's Episcopal Cathedral on Great Western Road in Glasgow.

SculptureA glass "racket" I made for Mark in the MIT glass band. I was going for Bari Racket and I sure achieved it- 15mm glass at about 8 feet of tubing coiled up.
Next I wanna make a tenor racket- maybe 10mm and 5 feet of tubing. A reed or mouthpiece is attached with some rubber tubing and fingers can play the finger holes. It's a neat instrument.
I am learning to be a glass luthier :)
A little clip of our opening night "finale" after the MIT glass band played their horns. I bent "charms" for each of the class's instructors and got them done in half a day- in time for the opening night demo. 5 classes and neon red light with a high voltage animator- so naturally we went with a pentagram. A glassy high voltage pentagram of knowledge!
Also, the wifi is now "better" on campus thanks to some fiber ran into the woods. A few months ago I set up a Nextcloud server running at home that my photos back up to from my phone. I just realized that I can upload videos from Pilchuck to Mastodon straight from my home server! No need to clog the limited Pilchuck bandwidth

This is one of my favorite things about masons and architecture of this type. Heres a great post about gargoyles and grotesques (including the Scottish Aliens inspired one):
Morning tooters, its finally raining outside . That good soaking but not heavy rain, I love it. Not much on today, doctors this morning to grab a script & drop into my optometrist to get my glasses adjusted.
Im sharing 2 more photos I took yesterday of some sculptures along the track I walked. The moth one is Myee, a Bogong Moth spirit, its always difficult to photograph well as the face is so dark & I only have my phone but its a favourite of mine. The other favourite is an Eagle & looks wonderful when framed against the sky.
Enjoy your day whether you have sunshine or rain like me.

travers les yeux, il dchiffrait les mes, disait Auguste Rodin de son prdcesseur. Adepte du portrait vivant, Jean-Antoine Houdon (17411828) est connu pour ses bustes de savants et de philosophes des Lumires, tels Diderot ou Voltaire, saisis avec naturalisme dans des attitudes spontanes. Portrait dun sculpteur clair.

My opportunity to photograph the 'Knife Angel' sculpture, which is currently in my home town of Sunderland for the month of June.
Made from over 100,000 seized blades, it's here as part of the National Youth Anti-Violence Tour and created to highlight the negative effects of violent behaviour.
