Reviews

[Kathryn Davis · Rating 4 out of 5]

“For it reminds us of how we may feel in the presence of nature and the wonder that stirs us at its evanescence and vulnerability.”

Lovely.

Pictures of blown glass that looks sea creatures (hence the name seaforms). Very beuatiful, but nothing overly special or interesting.
