Comments on: Glass Art: Recycled Reflections

When I was creating a Special Effects video project, I crafted a village of distinctive Glass Art sculptures using recycled glass.
Each sculpture provided unique reflections of light and color to the project, they are very cool ! ! !

Also, each glass art sculpture is carefully composed to provide unique reflected qualities supplied by the Red Green Blue LED lighted pedestal that comes with it.

During the village creation process (of almost fifty sculptures), I was frequently asked if the Glass Art Sculptures were available for purchase.

Well, I finally carved out some time, and have a limited number of the Glass Art Sculptures used in the video project,
along with several newly created sculptures now available on http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/studio/sameuston

Several examples of the Glass Art, Recycled Reflection Sculptures are available on YouTube.
The YouTube Channel is located at:

They are all very unique in the way they each create and mold reflections, it’s like they are almost "living sculptures".
Karen (my wife wants to keep quite a few of them), they are really nice to have on, (at home and in her studio) especially at night.
Karen loves for me to turn them on to greet her when she comes home at night.

So if you are looking for a very special one of a kind, affordable gift (for yourself or someone extra special), take a look and see what you think.

PRESS RELEASE

For Release: Beyond The Crescent Moon

A Tranquil calming instrumental compilation, a drift away from Sam's usual:

a soothing, harmonious, healing, musical journey, echoing Sam's early classical training and evoking the magic of Music

Six Compositions over seventy two minutes in length

Beyond The Crescent Moon: A sound scape of my experience while gazing Beyond The Crescent Moon.

Wicca Magic: Many years ago while on Cerridwen Fallingstar's year and a day class journey, this composition unfolded. Wicca Magic totally blends into this collection.

Seasons Of Luna: Loving the rich vibrant harmonies of Gregorian Chant, this is my expression of the voices that enrich my inner core.

Mountain Path Ahead: Who is the wisest; the person who climbs 100 different mountains, or the same mountain 100 times. Either journey, can bring that which one seeks to discover. I've found that either path, walked in rhythmic pace and harmony (my expression in this composition), nurtures the climb of life's mountain path ahead.

Environmental Symphony: My symphonic expose' of sunrises, sunsets, mountains, streams, showers, redwoods, nature's rhythms, feather'd cohorts, and life's seasons deeply rich resonances.

Journey's Memory: Having visited and sung in many cathedrals, while gazing about, I've envisioned voices reaching into their steeples. They mold sonic paths that journey through the vestibules, bring voice to the sculptures, and life into the flickering candles of memories.
