great white heron

[steven p selchow]

some new stuff for the botique. Blowing glass again for the tourists this summer after a 13 year hiatus. Thanks for peeking.

[mer]

that is beautiful. 13 yrs off eh, i guess it really is like riding a bike.

[Pilgrim]

I agree, but damn after 13 yrs off?????

[steven p selchow]

Couldn't pass up the best location in town, and the deal I worked out with the current owners, come and go as I please, demo whenever I feel like it. Get a check every week. Maybe I did over extend myself, some shows, gallery accounts, wholesale....never see the family now.

I gave up my own store 13 yrs. ago, never give up glass..

[vetropod]

Beautiful bird!!! :tantrum:

[FredLight]

Sweet bird! Nice work!

[lsw]

man I wish I could sculpt like that. I cant even write my name legible. Congrats excellent quality!

[UmaJulz]

Nice Steve. Very elegant. I imagine that it is a delicate balance with that type of bird- how tall is it?

So, is this boutique in Milwaukee or thereabouts? I'd like to stop by if that's alright. I'll be in that area the second week of June- you know, that bead thing... LOL.

[ShttrdSpctrm]

really nice work. good luck with tourist season

[steven p selchow]

Thanks all. Its in the Dells, Wisconsin that is. Stop on in Julz, its right off the interstate a few miles...no turns, straight shot into town, called the Dandelion.
thanks for the compliments, we get about 50,000 people a day in the summer, chicago-Minneapolis, but from everywhere in the us.

The advertising budget here is about 8 million dollars....all for a town of 2500 people in the off-season.

3 of the largest waterparks in the world, outdoor and indoor, a real family destination.

Edit: The bird is about 8' high..I used uv glue to the base, but it stands by itself, its on a blue beveled mirror.

8' or 8"?!? If it's actually 8', that's CRAZY!!! :puzzled:

[Snurf]

elligant..love the uv glue idea!

[PyroChixRock]

that's rad, steve!! you are a sculpting god.

[susheke]

Stunning.

[beachglass]

beautiful...it reminds me of those japanese minimalist sketchings

[steven p selchow]

Thanks again..its 8 inches..not feet!! A kiln that size would cost megamoney.
I did a beautiful cardinal on a branch with a white lily dipped in ruby frit, the cardinal is done with elvis over borostyx white, a true blood red with depth, anyone try that combo?

I did a squid for the moble for the garden at AGI last year with that color combo, Someone bought my big octopus at the glass center at Wonkaville and wants a squid, specifically with Elvis over white.

beautiful sculpture. Clean. elegant. Simple.

I've been told the three keys to a sucessful business are location, location, and location. Sounds like you nailed it.

Much Respect.

Next time i drive through i will pick up a pack of curds and stop by.

I drove by there earier this year on my way to St. Paul.

I should really try my hand at sculpting. Pick a subject and work it out. Just getting the hang of hollow work now so i guess one thing at a time. Very nice Heron though. Now how about a blue one:devilish:

[steven p selchow]

Heron...Egret, The blue heron is actually white, with blue tint on wings and feather on head,green legs...wait till i sell this one first.

[Chase Designs]

gorgeous!

[gypsea]

he is beautiful steve....looks like he is getting ready to dip into the water.
glad your new spot is going well...

I used to have a little buddy heron that followed me around when I went fishing on this one spot on the river. It was a tiny, ugly little thing, but it warmed up to me and would eat food I would give it and run up to see the fish when I would land one. The next year I go back to the same spot and this pretty big sized heron seemed to remember being fed and was ruining my fishing by scaring everything away.

Good one Steve.
