Childs Play by Jamie
Puff The Magic Dragon is the saddest song ever written. As an adult, it reminds us of the inner child most of us have lost. These pieces were inspired by the desire to bring that back and to see the world again through the eyes of a child. It started with a brilliant blue pice of glass laying on my work space, reminding me of the classic blue crayon. As my mind wandered through all the places one might find a crayon, it struck me. It's not where you find one but when you use one. Children are the masters of the crayon drawing and each of their creations evokes a smile from those who are lucky enough to see it. Why not recreate this same joy by combining the mediums of a classic crayon drawing with the elegance of art glass to create art that can be enjoyed everyday?
