Les Arbres Timides were first shown at Glass Week End (July 07)
and got a great response. Several Collectors requested a preview of the ones
 in the same spirit, but with different shapes and colors
Mirrored Lilac will be in the SOFA Chicago Catalogue (November 07)
Applying silver into the blown glass to render the mirror effect is an elaborate process

Mediums used and Technique

This Installation represents is a new concept in Fabienne's Work related to
Intimacy between Glass and Metal

The Bulb is made of Blown Glass, mirrored,
The base is polished steel, nickel plated
On the cradle of the base, Fabienne placed cast glass (anthracites - black)
The Stems (attached to the bulb, but removable from the base) are made of metal surrounded by a glass tube
Assembling it is actually a pleasure, and much easier than it seems
