Considering how detailed the instructions are it's hard not to think about the amount of effort that must have gone into one of the original eggs. Have you ever seen a Faberge egg in person? I'm working on behalf of a site called Positively Cleveland, and right now we’re getting the word out about an upcoming exhibit at the Cleveland Museum of Art. It’s called “Artistic Luxury: Fabergé, Tiffany, Lalique”, and will feature exquisite examples of each artist’s work. If you get a chance the exhibit is well worth a trip to see these beautiful treasures in person. You can find more information at http://www.clevelandblings.com. Additionally, Cleveland has many other destinations including the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame: http://www.positivelycleveland.com/visiting/things_to_do/cleveland_rocks/rock_hall. There’s something for everyone and lots to explore!<BR/><BR/>I hope I haven’t overstepped my bounds by leaving this comment. I’m just trying to get the word out about this amazing exhibit so as many people as possible can have the experience of seeing this art with their own eyes. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to E-Mail me. I’d love to hear from you :)<BR/><BR/>Cary A.

I found it to be interesting if only because it takes pretty much the opposite positon of something like Cradle to Cradle. Basically it attacks the "do less harm" view of design that is currently in vogue and promotes something more like "do more good." Perhaps something in the middle is best. <BR/><BR/>Aristotle taught that virtue is the moderation between two extremes. which I find to be fairly accurate. This conflicts with the current dominant design view that the goal is to swing all the way to the extreme of zero waste and total reuse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1354002154114792932.post-79945842697071171002008-09-12T20:08:00.000-04:002008-09-12T20:08:00.000-04:00That's what the electroformer looks like when it g...That's what the electroformer looks like when it gets all nasty.Liz Steinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630034607986652096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1354002154114792932.post-44277542347146156482008-09-11T01:40:00.000-04:002008-09-11T01:40:00.000-04:00these are some goodies.

If a laser cutter or a milling machine or a vacuum caster can do that, then what of it? I'm just waiting for someone to develop a "Mind-Miller" which produces forms based on mental images. I would also settle for the manufacturing equivalent of a Segway that picks up subtle gestures. Then maybe my poor hands can rest. They're an overused production tool.<BR/><BR/>P.S.

I liken the place that our field is at to a fin de siecle. How exciting! You all can emerge on top of the wave or at least riding the right wave! Most of you know I work out somewhat religiously (I guess all religion isn't bad)....being in good physical shape is a metaphor for many things in life. Pushing yourself to do one more push up, run 5 more minutes, strengthen your entire body (and while you are doing it, your mind also gets stronger)prepares you for what comes your way....strengthen your proverbial cores, practice your bob-and-weave and keep your finger on the pulses, listen to wise people......

I'm starting to change my opinions about the subject, the right tools for some work may not be hand tools it may be any number of technolical processes instead-and thats fine, its just working smart. its just using the right tool for the job. i have thought about how the piece i'm working on now would be different had i had it milled which was originally suggested to me. i think that process would work but i'm really glad i didn't do that this time even though it sort of did become a death march for me. Using other processes than hand building really are interesting to me where they previously weren't so much.amykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00016014826024747483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1354002154114792932.post-58614244741878540272008-04-22T21:52:00.000-04:002008-04-22T21:52:00.000-04:00None of us do.
