Glass by Bruno

Bruno Romanelli

This is the sculpture of London-based glass artist Bruno Romanelli. Although he is best known for his creation of the Rising Star glass trophy for BAFTA’s annual awards ceremony, Romanelli’s personal work is much less figural and more abstract, and I just love it!

His sculptures can be found in galleries and museums worldwide, and his list of awards is long and varied. The process he uses is lost-wax glass casting, and it’s incredibly time consuming. His pieces can take between four weeks and four months to complete. Below the pictures, there’s a video of him illustrating his technique. I have watched it twice, and while I have no idea what he’s doing, his results are certainly lovely.

        Yes I plan to reblog it tomorrow. Enjoy rest of your day. BTW has the newfound endeavor of seeking your idea of the one beautiful thing reduced your stress levels much & given you a new outlook on life in general or would u say it’s had a so-so affect on u thus far? I’m just curious.

        It has definitely positively affected my ability to deal with stress. One of the things I do when I feel the beginnings of a panic attack is think about the next beautiful thing. Sometimes, I get so lost in thought I even forget to panic! Not all the time, of course, but often enough to let me know I’m on the right track. Like all stress management techniques, I need to make myself focus and breathe, but I would say it’s definitely one of the best tools in my anti-panic arsenal.

        Thank you so much for reblogging! That’s much appreciated.

    Donna from MyOBT speaking about the positive affect the blog & her quest for one beautiful thing has impacted her life.

    Initially, this week I set out to showcase photographers that had a keen eye for beauty but ran across Donna’s blog & the amazingly beautiful write she had done about viewing glassworks by the artist Bruno Romanelli and I had to feature/reblog it her on cocktailmolly.

    I hope everyone enjoys her blog & pop in to share in her experiences as she hunts like an archaeologist on an excavation in ancient lands of Greece, Rome, & Africa for … One Beautiful Thing.
