Title: signed by Michael Harris , Mdina glass blocks , how rare are these ??
Post by: Baked_Beans on November 27, 2011, 09:35:20 AM: I happened to see these on ebay and on page 25 of Mark Hill's it shows a pic. of a sculpture made of spare glass blocks from a private domestic architectural commission. Were these blocks just a one-off ? ....Where's that Christmas list I was writing ? !

I've got an amethyst one and I know of others who have them too.

Post by: glassobsessed on December 06, 2011, 08:35:17 PM: Me too but my bid was limp by comparison and not high enough to register by that stage. :cry:

I had plans for framing them in a nice deep box frame with four led light strips inside, they would have looked great hanging on the wall at night....
Well, I guess they would have looked good at any time. ;D

Post by: chopin-liszt on December 07, 2011, 11:58:19 AM: They do indeed - but I take it they're not yours any more, Martyn!
That's what I would have done with them too - except I have no space for it.

Post by: Martyn K on December 07, 2011, 12:29:02 PM: No longer mine Sue, I was contemplating having the stand made up, but then decided it might not be to everyones taste so sold 'as is'...very happy with the price, but do wish everyone wouldn't leave the bidding so late (he says hypocritically)
