Title: When Blue Cheerios Attack Artist: AJGlass Image created by: AJGlass using an Epson Perfection 1200U scanner and PhotoShop. Medium: Glass Type: Soft Glass, 104 Coefficient of Expansion (Moretti/Effetre, Vetrofond, Lausha) Description: Glass Medallion Details: The dime provided is for scale of the smaller image. The smaller image is of the reverse side of the same medallion. Opaque white and transparent blue glasses were used to create this bead which has been annealed in a kiln. This medallion took 30 minutes to make and 18 hours to anneal. No image color correction was necessary. Discussion: It was difficult for me to create this medallion for two reasons: 1. White soft glass when molten has the consistency of water and is thus difficult for me to work with. 2. Keeping a white glass medallion at the optimal temperature so that it doesn’t crack or deform is very difficult while applying Cheerios. Further comment: This piece was an experiment to see how many blue transparent Cheerios I could place onto the front of a medallion. When I inspected this piece after it was annealed, I realized that the Cheerios looked similar to the polyps found on some types of saltwater coral. Thus, I imagined that if blue Cheerio-shaped coral polyps were to suddenly attack, this would be the end result – 19 of them crammed onto a single medallion. Legal: Copyright © Aaron J. Greenblatt.

 That poor white medallion!
 Very beautiful by the way!  -- Execute the specific action you're curiously going out of your way to so strongly imply that you'll verily do, you homosexual. Faith in Humanity: -9001  Amazing, your glass work and photos never cease to make me wish I could do that.
-- That is a lovely shade of CRAZY. "When Fred Phelps dies, there will be thousands of angry queers viciously making out at his funeral." =ShakeTheShame  Blue is very beatiful
 -- Bindik bir alamete....  I have to admit that when I saw the name of your piece that I started laughing...and kept on laughing.
 But the piece is very cute and a nice technical feat.As a beader I would have some concerns about incorporating the medallion into a larger work because I'd be afraid of having one of the small "O's" pop off of it while stringing it. Since it's been well-annealed, I would guess this would not be a big issue, but it's not a bad idea to assure some timid folks like me that would not be a concern. It would be a ton of fun to make this one into a "breakfast" work! --  I forgot...is it the blue pill, or the red pill? Thanks.
In the Artist's Comments sections of some of my other Cheerio pieces I state that the Cheerios were applied as molten drops of glass which were then poked with a tungsten pick to create the holes. They are firmly melted on to the white glass and will not pop off. I probably should have stated the same thing on this one as well. -- glass images glass studio images photography images Thanks so much for the clarification! I wasn't sure if you had made tubes from the blue and cut them into slices and then applied them, or if you had used a different technique. I'd definitely have fun coming up with some ways to continue the theme of alien Cheerios!
-- I forgot...is it the blue pill, or the red pill? This piece isn't even my most alien of Cheerios pieces. I've created some that are even more bizarre. I just haven't taken pictures of them. I have enough Cheerio pieces on display in my gallery that some people are already talking about me having an unhealthy Cheerios fetish.
 -- glass images glass studio images photography images Ah, but they're such a healthy and delightful snack to look at...even if they aren't oatmeal!
 -- I forgot...is it the blue pill, or the red pill? |
