(public display, Heisey Glass Museum, Newark, Ohio, USA)
-----------------------------------
The Heisey Glass Company operated in Newark, Ohio from 1896 to 1957. They made numerous pieces in various designs ("patterns'), most of which was clear glass ("crystal"). Some colored glass was also produced during the run of the company - colors included greens, blues, oranges, reds, pinks, yellows, and purples.
"Zircon" refers to a type of colored glass that Heisey made - in this case, greenish.
The source of silica for Heisey glass is apparently undocumented, but was possibly a sandstone deposit in the Glassrock area (Glenford & Chalfants area) of Perry County, Ohio (if anyone can provide verfication of this, please inform me). Quarries in the area targeted the Pennsylvanian-aged Massillon Sandstone (Pottsville Group) and processed it into glass sand suitable for glass making.
-----------------------------------
From Bredehoft (2004):
Zircon: 1936-1939. A turquoise blue-green. The last color introduced before World War II curtailed the use of color. Revamped and reintroduced later as Limelight.

From museum signage:
Augustus H. Heisey (1842-1922) emigrated from Germany with his family in 1843. They settled in Merrittown, Pennsylvania and after graduation from the Merrittown Academy, he worked for a short time in the printing business.
In 1861, he began his life-long career in the glass industry by taking a job as a clerk with the King Glass Company of Pittsburgh. After a stint in the Union Army, Heisey joined the Ripley Glass Company as a salesman. It was there that he earned his reputation of "the best glass salesman on the road".
In 1870, Heisey married Susan Duncan, daughter of George Duncan, then part-owner of the Ripley Company and later full owner, at which time he changed its name to George Duncan & Sons. A year later, he deeded a quarter interest to each of his two children. A few years after his death, A.H. Heisey and James Duncan became sole owners. In 1891, the company joined the U.S. Glass Company to escape its financial difficulties. Heisey was the commercial manager.
Heisey began to formulate plans for his own glass company in 1893. He chose Newark, Ohio because there was an abundance of natural gas nearby and, due to the efforts of the Newark Board of Trade, there was plenty of low cost labor available. Construction of the factory at 301 Oakwood Avenue began in 1895 and it opened in April of 1896 with one sixteen-pot furnace. In its heyday, the factory had three furnaces and employed nearly seven hundred people. There was a great demand for the fine glass and Heisey sold it all over the world.
The production in the early years was confined to pressed ware, in the style of imitation cut glass. The company also dealt extensively with hotel barware. By the late 1890s, Heisey revived the colonial patterns with flutes, scallops, and panels which had been so popular decades earlier. These were so well accepted that from that time on, at least one colonial line was made continuously until the factory closed.
A.H. Heisey's name appears on many different design patents including some when he was with George Duncan & Sons. Heisey patterns that he was named the designer include 1225 Plain Band, 305 Punty and Diamond Point, and 1776 Kalonyal.
Other innovations instituted by A.H. Heisey were the pioneering in advertising glassware in magazines nationally, starting as early as 1910 and the first glass company to make fancy pressed stems. That idea caught on quickly and most hand-wrought stemware is made in this manner, even now.

Romanticism- “to say the word romanticism is to say modern art-= that is, intimacy, spirituality, color, aspiration towards the infinite, expressed by every means available to the arts.” Charles Baudelaire
This quote from Charles Baudelaire is saying that the idea of romanticism permeates several aspects of life, which transform the way people think about life and nature. Spirituality, intimacy, and the aspiration towards the infinite are all themes that have been vividly depicted throughout art and have transcended time to appear in popular culture and art today.
I chose this picture to represent romanticism because it embodies the aspiration towards the infinite, a sense of spirituality in the sense that there is a deeper appreciation for the nature in the painting. It also shows a sort of intimacy with nature. Even though the people in the painting look like they are dressed for some sort of civilized event, there seems to be some sense of practicality and normality to there demeanor; implying their familiarity with nature.
Visit to the McDowell Sonoran Preserve in Scottsdale, Arizona on the morning of Thursday July 12th. From the City of Scottsdale site, "The Scottsdale McDowell Sonoran Preserve is a large, permanently protected, sustainable desert habitat that includes an interconnected network of non-motorized, multi-use trails (hike/bike/horse) accessed from multiple trailhead locations." I went to the Gateway Area and walked on a few of the trails near the trailhead. These included the Saguaro Trail, the Saguaro Loop Trail, and the Bajada Nature Trail. The trailhead is located at 18333 N. Thompson Peak Rd, Scottsdale, AZ, 85255. When facing the mountains to the east, you could be anywhere in the desert. But when you look west, it is clear you are close to civilization. Great preserve!

Join us as we spend the weekend onboard a DFDS Ferry from Newcastle to Amsterdam on an Amsterdam Mini Cruise.
Watch the full video of the trip here: youtu.be/HzDrc_kiC58
We spend three days on a return trip from Newcastle to Amsterdam and in this video we do a full tour of the ship so you know what to expect if you plan on taking this trip in the future.
We set sail on DFDS's Kings Seaways from North Shields (near Newcastle). After checking into our room we then went to the top deck to view our departure.
We then go for a full tour of the ship and visit the bars, shops, arcade, night club, wildlife observation centre, cafe, etc.
We spend all evening looking around and then have a picnic in our room instead of going to the buffet restaurant.
We have an inside room with 4 beds (2 bunk beds).
The next morning the sea is rough and we feel a bit sick but still go for breakfast which was included in our package.
We then arrive at Amsterdam (IJmuiden Ferry Terminal) we get a transfer into the city where we spend the next few hours.
We are dropped off near Amsterdam Central Station and walk into the centre of the city. First we get some Frites (fries) to eat followed by some ice cream.
Our first attraction is the RijksMuseum. The Rijksmuseum is the national museum of the Netherlands and is dedicated to Dutch arts and history. We got to see some paintings by Dutch Masters such as Rembrandt, Vermeer and Van Gogh.
Next we went to the Royal Palace of Amsterdam, we only toured here for a short time as we were on a strict time schedule.
We got a late lunch at an Italian restaurant before heading back to the ship on the bus transfer provided.
After we got back on board we waited on the top deck to see us depart and then we spent the evening touring around the ship again and spending time in the Columbus Bar night club.
The next morning the weather was a lot better and the sun was out as we cruised up the British coast.
We arrived back into North Shields on time and departed the boat which took almost an hour to go through security.

Ugh, I can't help but to miss Pullips so much :(
Too bad I'm absolutely broke, and my parents are the best at understanding my love for them and all the crap I need to buy :P
But its been like a year since Leah broke, and I got her out the other day, and fell in love with her all over again. Shes just so pretty! I have enough money to buy her an obitsu, but my parents are just so weird about it... but I love Pullips, and I want Leah to be photographable again, and I want her to have friends!
It also sucks cuz I have to save over $600 for a florida trip, so its going to take a while for me to be able to save for these cuties :( Plus I don't have a job, so its not like I ever get money anyways.
But I just want them all so bad! I find myself so obsessed xD Like I even went and found wigs&eye chips that I would love each of these girls to have if I ever wanted to really customize them. & I found out how much it would cost me (about $1,300 :P)
But anyways, my wishlist has changed a little. I dropped a few girls (who I still love, but they're not on the top of my list) And added two more that are pre-orders, since I kind of liked them :D
Oh! Also i'm so sad cuz I missed Leah's birthday (like three months ago :O) And I wanted to wish her a happy birthday :) Even though it wasn't the best year :(
Well anyways, hopefully someday my Pullip family will be how I dream it :D
