Chuckbert and Mr. Bears go shopping

We needed to get out of the house so we took a little shopping trip to La Jolla yesterday. We got carried away and came home with a little tchotchke.



It's a cube made by Jack Storms of dichroic glass encased in pure lead crystal.

It's on a stand that rotates so we can look at it from all directions. Here's a view from a less glittery direction.

Pretty even when it's not showing off, huh?

Here's another view that shows more of the construction of the piece.


It sparkles (even in very dim light) and shoots rainbows around the room when the sun is shining on it.


It's very nice!

We need to stop shopping for a while now.

very pretty.

Cool! It looks like something from Star Trek that either runs the ship or that traps people's souls.

We got it from Hallmark Fine Art Gallery. We got a painting by Linda Herzog there a few years back.

Truly stunning! How big is it, and where does it reside? I hope those legs are sturdy enough to hold it up. And it must have taken some real thought to balance it.

I think you have the very first Full Core Cube that I ever made there!
