Liliana Porter and Ana Tiscornia’s “Untitled with Sky” (2010) at MNR Scarborough station explores illusion and truth, depicting a sky in faceted glass panels and sculptural seats clad in mosaic, all the while set on an outdoor platform surrounded by sky. The swirling, curved shapes in blues, purples, and rose serve as an expressive extension of the actual sky as it changes from morning to evening.
Porter’s continued exploration into fiction versus reality is on view in her solo show “Untitled with Her” at Bienvenu Steinberg & J through October 14.

honestly shout out to faceted black glass buttons. one of my favorite front-closure options for tops
like, look at these little gals:
understated, but with undeniable visual interest! not too bland, but not going to distract from anything else on your jacket, blouse, or bodice! a bit of sparkle that's cheaper and less fragile than bead appliques! not plastic, which is key purely because fuck plastic beyond medical/safety applications!
some have fancier designs in the faceting:
some have gold lustre, which pulls a BIT more focus but still not too much:
(I got a full set of 6 with little gold butterflies on them. it was fate. I love them so much)
she's carrying the entire Black Or Jewel-Tone Tops world on her shoulders and we should all say Thank You, Faceted Black Glass Buttons
#clothing#fashion#historybounding#antiques#now bring all the matched sets to me#because approx. every six weeks I have a new project that requires Faceted Black Glass Buttons and#nobody makes them new anymore. at least not for the stores I shop at#so In Person is out#except like Brimfield or getting lucky at antique shops#and I hate waiting for them to ship

Day 12: Cuddling
Argos and Mr. Plant will have a long night train ride
in my professional opinion, Argos instantly falls asleep on trains
#ashur gharavi#argos x mr plant#twomp#the world of mr plant#argos twomp#argos#argos the world of mr plant#mr plant twomp#mr plant x argos#i LOVE TRAINS#in my country the trains have incredibly nice cup holders that usually hold faceted glasses with hot tea#I'm so interested in what they add to those teas#I've never tried them outside of Ukrainian Railways#seriously these drinks are like drugs in my mind#probably the only way to get introverts to travel

Sommerso vase in burgundy-yellow Murano glass, Italian manufacture, dating back to around the 1960s.
The burgundy red and yellow colors are obtained thanks to the 'Sommerso' technique; developed in Murano in the 1930s and very popular in the 1950s and 1960s. The result is a glass with contrasting colors covered with a transparent layer.

i might be genderfluid. probably not though. the actual idea of being socially perceived as any other gender makes me feel like a clown
#random thoughts#like. auuuuugh.#you ever want to be feminine the way girls are feminine instead of the way guys are feminine sometimes.#androgynous fem. i don't know.#the social dysphoria is too strong.#i like my pronouns. i like masculine terms. all the time. but sometimes i just feel like.#AUGH FUCK THIS IS WEIRD AND COMPLICATED.#oh well we're going to do the same thing i did as when i questioned being aro and bi. focus on something else [:#(then again my last test of the year was yesterday so there's nothing i can really. do. as a distraction.)#genderfluidity is such a beautiful thing. like pretty and colorful glass shards#all reflecting facets of one person's identity. i love you genderfluidity#and genderfluid people !!

Celebrate National Book Lovers Day with Béatrice Coron’s “Bronx Literature” (2006) at Burke Av (2,5) station. The colorful faceted glass artwork honors the rich literary heritage of the area and the popularity of reading as an activity for subway riders. The Bronx has been the home and inspiration of numerous writers, and in “Bronx Literature,” Coron portrays four great writers' works: Edgar Allan Poe's “Ulalume and other poems”; Sholem Aleichem's “Mottel, the Cantor's Son”; James Baldwin's “The Fire Next Time”; and Nicholasa Mohr's “El Bronx Remembered.” According to Coron, "These authors tell the story of the borough from colonial times to suburban and contemporary community developments. Their works help us travel through time into different social classes and communities, making each of us an insider."

"hey Marzi," says Marzi's Mother on the phone, "what do you want for Christmas? send us your wish-list!"
the air grows chill. the shadows begin to whisper at the corners of the room. a gnawing, insatiable hunger burns in my chest as a flame that can never be quenched
slowly I open eBay and type the ancient incantation to bring forth the tribute I crave:
"antique faceted black glass buttons"
#personal#sewing#antiques#your girl goes through faceted black glass buttons like there's no tomorrow#I clench my teeth (tears streaming from my eyes) but nothing can stop the tortured whisper of#'they're just...subtle but...a bit of visual interest...without distracting from jewelry...'

Huh. I had wondered, if it was some sort of Snow White reference, a thing in your past to give you correspondences with her story; whether it was something to do with your science communication bent; or perhaps a dirty joke about you and Mr. Dr. Glass. ;)
does anyone feel the layer of plexiglass between themselves and the rest of the world or is that just a me thing
#maybe the way we only get to glimpse you through glass gives us merely slivers and facets to see#honestly who would wish for more#either giving or receiving.

I would fucking be so beloved as a fictional character I could fill the dog motif, the sword motif, and the Saint/martyr motif so well and the guilt and dedication to duty at the expense of self care would do numbers.
#I have a sudden splitting headache and alcohol in my system but like if you know me you know#I am devoted and overly forgiving for hurts against me#I have a deep deep seated desire to be helpful and useful and I will do the worst work so it gets done or so no one else has to#I will insist on being the one to clear the broken glass so that if someone gets hurt it’s me#duty and obligation are core facets of my personality and sources of my greatest guilt#tumblr user myth this one is bc of you

So i noticed a while back that link wears glass earrings and a glass hairband
Im not pretending to be shocked by this however, i wanna know how this is constructed? How does he put his hair in that ring? Are these earrings made with a small wire or did he stretch his earlobes?
I kinda wanna make these tbh.
#i never post about it but i cut gemstones and glass sometimes#im not very good at faceting either so theres nothing to write home about#where on earth could i get the blue glass anyways? a blue bottle? that weird british gin bottle?#the legend of zelda#breath of the wild
