another universe exists
where
language is light
and
light is language
joined with others in
whispers and
conversations and
song
and all of this is
praise
and
munificence
beyond
the scope

This wonderful glass mosaic brooch with its shades of red, green, yellow and blue is Victorian, made in Italy in the 1870s. The pieces have been painstakingly put together to create the beautiful image of flowers you see. It would have been a tourist piece, purchased as a souvenir by a visitor to Venice perhaps, and the glass making island of Murano.
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 7th of March is "jewellery on a paper background". As soon as I saw the theme, I knew what I wanted to use as my submission. In one of my books – “Glass: Pleasures and treasures” by George Savage, published by Weidenfield and Nicholson in 1965 – there is a beautiful colour plate of a tazza of millefiori glass made in the First Century, AD. I felt that with its shades matching the brooch so well, it would make the perfect backdrop for this stunning piece of Italian jewellery! I hope you like my choice of subject for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
This is a story where something good came from something not so good. Last year, I was doing some photography out of doors using a mirror, when a sudden and unexpected gust of wind blew the mirror over, shattering it into a thousand pieces. I threw away most of the mirror, for it was beyond repair and of no use, except for a few large pieces, which I held onto with my usual British attitude of “they may come in handy some day”. And one day they did! I was given a beautiful millefiori glass teapot by a friend. The patterns were so pretty all over it that I wanted to capture them all in one shot. But how? Then I worked it out! Using two pieces of the broken mirror I managed to capture all sides of the teapot! Thus, the pieces of broken mirror came in handy in the end.
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 5th of October is “mirror or mirror glass”, a theme where rather than being about reflections in transparent glass or reflective surfaces other than mirror glass; it's about (reflections in) mirrors and (pieces of) mirror glass. It’s about an actual 'mirror' OR 'mirror glass' that's used for a different purpose... mostly for 'artwork'. I hope that this image fits the bill for this week’s theme, that you like it, and that it makes you smile!

Murrine is an Italian term for colored patterns or images made in a glass cane (long rods of glass) that are revealed when cut in cross-sections. Murrine can be made in infinite designs—some styles are more familiar, such as millefiore. Artists working in glass design murrine in a variety of ways from simple circular or square patterns to complex detailed designs to even portraits of people. Murrine are designed by layering different colors of molten glass around a core, then heating and stretching it into a rod. When cool, the rod is sliced into cross-sections of desired thickness with each slice possessing the same pattern in cross-section.
The murrine process first appeared in the Mideast more than 4,000 years ago and was revived by Venetian glassmakers on Murano in the early 1500s.From Wikipedia
出典：用語"Murrinaや飾り石"は1878年に修道院長ヴィンチェンツォサネッティ、2人とも、ムラノガラスの再生に危機感を長い期間の後に貢献によって鋳造されたから。サネッティのモザイクガラスの花瓶は、この用語を採用し、これにローマ人がすでに杖を使用していたボウル（*）は、顔、花や動物のようなデザインを自分たちの国が、全体の長さは、抽象的あるいは象徴的なのです。ので、オブジェクトには、ローマ人たちのカラフルな石murrinaを使用して実行覚えることができるいくつかの方法が原因でそれらと呼ばれ、しかし、誰もこれまで知られています。それ以来、長期ままmurrinoており、サトウキビの両方の個々のセクションを識別するためにサービスを提供するオブジェクトをその組成によって得られます。
da wikipedia Il termine “Murrina o Murrino” è stato coniato nel 1878 dall'abate Vincenzo Zanetti, che tanto contribuì alla rinascita della vetraria muranese dopo un lungo periodo di crisi. Zanetti adottò questo termine per definire vasi e ciotole in vetro mosaico che i Romani facevano usando sezioni di canna(*) che presentavano al loro interno, per tutta la lunghezza, disegni astratti o anche figurativi come volti, fiori e animali. Li chiamò così perché in qualche modo potevano ricordare gli oggetti che gli stessi Romani eseguivano usando la variopinta pietra murrina, che peraltro nessuno ha mai conosciuto. Da allora il termine murrino è rimasto e serve ad identificare sia le singole sezioni di canna sia l'oggetto ottenuto dalla loro composizione.
I waken, remembering, sensing the alchemy of
sweet perfume, white flowers mingled in the
crucible of the snowstorm… whence is that
goodly fragrance? I eagerly throw open my
window, tear at its allegorical shutters and slash
the curtain between the
ordinary and the
holy…
knowing I will see coatings of white surplices and under
stand the goodly pigment and fragrance of
winter with the eye of
God.
(from white midnight in my new book, Orchids and Neurons: Molecular Poetry}

Italian Millefiori glass beads accent this necklace of cherry colored Czech teardrops. S-hook clasp is hammered 925 sterling silver. This necklace is cheerful, bright and the teardrops remind me of cherry popsicles in the summer!
