I’m catching up on writing after Orycon, so here’s one I shot with the old camera a few years ago. Mark Matthews — Bubble Sphere (approx 2″ diameter) in uranium yellow glass with a sliced cucumber.
Weekly Sphere — Uranium and Cucumbers
Weekly Sphere — Dinah Hulet
Dinah Hulet. Temari style at 1-15/32″ (37 mm) in diameter. The marble is signed “Hulet/02″ Part of the fun of a Hulet sphere is finding the signature. One way to do it is to turn it in your fingers until you feel something very slightly scratchy and then use a magnifying glass.
Weekly Sphere
I’ll start with a classic and then add others as I learn to use my new camera.
“Warning Ball” by Mark Matthews, Sauder Village, Archbold, Ohio.
New Collection
Ray Vukcevich’s new collection includes 33 previously uncollected stories, all with his trademark whimsical skewed look at the world around us. . . a world of hidden stairs, funny smells, vampire girlfriends, fire women, missile boys, secret libraries, and outlandish (and yet frighteningly real) airline procedures.
‘There is no such thing as a typical Ray Vukcevich story. They all start a strong left turn from reality and then do the Charleston through a space warp.” Adam Troy-Castro
