The Solar System Collection

I had long searched galleries for baubles that happened to resemble celestial bodies—mostly atmosphereless cratered planets and moons—and had assembled something of a collection in its own right, but could never find any that looked like our Earth or its planetary neighbors.That was before Joy Alyssa Day and I took up blowing glass.Two of our early commissions were creating huge Solar System Mobiles. After many hours of trial and mostly error in developing planets for the mobiles, we decided to scale them down for many to enjoy.Using those techniques, we now create planet and moon ornaments that capture the essence of our Solar System in hand-blown glass; exhibiting the wonderful diversity of the individual spheres that circle our closest star along with us.We like to think of them as the Universe come to imitate itself.We're scientist-artist-engineers...
