Glass Planets and the Flickrverse

by Diane

A couple of neat things from Krazydad:

With planets, I incorporate many Venetian glass techniques, such as murrini (mosaic glass, also known as millefiori) and vetro a filigrana (filigree glass, also called latticino). These ancient traditional techniques are just where I start. The cores of Planets are full of bubbles, threads, and kaleidoscopic patterns evoking unseen landscapes and underwater worlds. I know I’ve succeeded when you feel like you have to look closer at one of my little worlds and then lose yourself in its textures and color.

…Also: I’ve been a sucker for graphical renditions of mathematical (and other) relationships since I saw my first fractal. Now here’s a poster representing some of the photosharing relationships in Flickr. (Looks like it can be ordered at this link.)
