#world of glass

i know I'm trying to save to money, but in my defense, the LP has a song which isn't included in represses. Or on new CD's. Or streamed anywhere.

Also I am weak against the siren song of Tristania.

(I'm going to hear the Modern End cover and World of Glass on long play record asjfkhlasdgld)

RIP Steven Cohen. You would've loved Pride Parades and Rainbow Capitalism.

“i dont want to be alone.”

Rodger knows he has to leave eventually. But maybe for now, he can ease his mind.

Can't get him off the brain, but also I'm sad for other reasons! So fuckit, magnifying glass.

My beloveds

A lot of the time when I reblog jewellery on here, it’s art nouveau jewellery, because I really like art nouveau. In general, and in jewellery in particular. And most of that is the aesthetic. I like the natural forms, I like the twisty curly bits, I like the use of materials, I like how a lot of art nouveau jewellery is using metals and stones and other materials to create a specific form, an insect or a plant or a goddess or even sometimes nature scenes. I like …

I feel like a lot of the time with jewellery, it feels like ‘I’m going to use this object to show off the size and value of my pretty rock’. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Some of those rocks are indeed gorgeous. But art nouveau feels more ‘I’m going to use these pretty rocks, and several other things, to create the impact of this object’? I just love the use of materials, glass and enamel and colour, as well as precious stones and metals, to create a form or a scene.

Like, you get a diamond ring, it’s a diamond ring. But you get something like a dragonfly brooch (Louis Acoc):

Or a lilypad hair comb (Rene Lalique):

Or a wisteria branch (Georges Fouquet):

And it’s a whole creation. A little wearable piece of art.

And I don’t want to sound too dismissive. I know the craftmanship and skill and artistry that goes into any kind of jewellery making. That diamond ring took skill I will never have. I just.

I like the emphasis on form more than material that you get with art nouveau. Like normally you hear ‘glass jewellery’, ‘enamel jewellery’, and it’s cheap, it’s frowned upon, but in art nouveau it’s what that glass or enamel was used to make that’s the important part:

(Eugene Feuillatre)

Anyway. In summary, I really, really, really like art nouveau jewellery?

Okay the drum intro of Lost by Tristania hits so much harder on speakers.
