    Makanudo There is no such thing as simple.Simple is hard.

    Yesterday I bought these three pieces that look so unevenly shaped that it made me like the for their oddnes. I can see they are very light and have pontils at the bottom.
    Also each piece has different shade of the dark turqoise colour.
    One piece has the base so elyptical, it can hardly stand.

    I put them behind the glass in the cabinet, grouped and they somehow make sense although they probably are someones first attempt at making glass objects. IMG_20151117_225117.jpg IMG_20151117_225215.jpg

    My sister took glass blowing in college many years ago and some of her creations looked almost as crooked as these. :happy:

    Hi,
    I bought some cheap vases from Mexico that look like these. They were a little wobbly also.

    Though my favorite, albeit blurry color, perhaps donate them to a skeet range?

    OK...I toss this out there. If I were you, I'd get some little glass elephants (they come inn that color), and put everything on a silver tray or a mirror.

    Because...when I first saw your arrangement, I was reminded of an old Elizabeth Taylor movie, Elephant Walk.

    You will have to have seen it to know why.

    I saw THE movie. It's a nice moviewith utterly melodramatic Liz, but still can't get the parabole. Please explain.

    Unless you meant the ruble at the end?

    Yup. Falling pillars, and all that. Glad you saw the movie. Melodrama notwithstanding, that was one gorgeous female!

    I liked the movie.
    Generally, I like that period of american cinematography.
    Thanks for not letting me miss this one.
