  • This piece is important to the art world because it creates beauty and curiosity to the eye, the eye wanders around the glass piece because it has flow between the lines.
  • This particular art piece is sometimes used for hanging in front of the window and creating different colored light and beautiful stain glass looking art. 
  • This art stood out to me because i liked the wavy lines and the way it all connected and made my eyes move from on side of the picture to the other.

  • This art work relates to the art world because it's something different, floating glass balls, I haven’t seen anything like it especially that big. 
  • These floating glass balls are something new, dale was always coming up with new ideas and fun things to create so this goes along with his artworks perfectly. 
  • This has a special relationship to me because I love water with any artwork i made a fountain this summer and it's my favorite thing and now floating glass balls in water are so cool, makes me want to try and make one!

  • This piece of art relates to the art world because it is beautiful and different  than what i have seen other glass blowers do before. 
  • This particular art piece is both elegant, admirable and useful, it could be a bowl for candy at a reception desk or a key holder for your car keys or just a piece of art work. 
  • This artwork relates to me because i really like functional art,  the fact that something can be so beautiful and you can use it at the same time is just great.
