The Art of Glass Blowing

Some artists use paint and canvas, others use clay or stone. My preferred medium is sound. What compels some to choose molten liquid? I don't know. It all sounds very hot and dangerous to me.

You have to admire people who take sand, heat it until it resembles magma and then form it into a delicate work of art. As you will see, glass blowing takes a lot of training and skill. Most of us will never get a chance to try this ourselves. I don't mind. I'm happy to just watch the videos.

Origami, a Curious Blend of Art and Science

I have been posting a lot about music lately, so I thought I'd switch gears. Origami has fascinated me for a long time, but I've never really learned much about it. Well, I thought this would be a good time to start.

I was surprised to find a large supply of origami videos on line. It is much more popular than I imagined. Some artists are now using computers to help design their "sculptures" with amazing results. If origami sounds like a dull subject to you, these videos will likely change your mind.
