Nice !
At last! My Enterprise-D ready room can be complete!
...Otay, where's the glass Seaview sculpture to go with the giant fish? :-)
I saw these in a gallery last week and was blown away. Amazingly beautiful! Thanks.
have you ever seen Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka's work? It's magnificent.
LEV3K: Including the replicator?
That is what this fish reminded me of SCIENCEBZZT. You are right it does look like Blaschka's plants from Harvard Museum of Natural History. Funny thing is that when photos are taken of those hyper-realistic glass sculptures it is impossible to tell that it is glass. Art imitates reality so well that one wanders what is real.
Weird Fishes, Cory
Weird Fishes :D
yeah, they're supercool. The Blaschkas did more than just plants though. Their seacreatures are even more beautiful I think.
new here, link didn't work in above post maybe this one will. http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2007/fsb/0705/gallery.inflated.fsb/8.html

A very minor point, but Tim Lindemann is not a glass blower, he is a lampworker or flameworker. There are major differences in the 2 arts, though of course both involve hot glass.
Nice lionfish in any case :-)
Oooooh, borosilicates!
