GILBERT MUSINGS: Art Collected ...is my personal blog, an insight into my brain to what I find interesting, unique, thought provoking, funny, warped and beautiful. All can be considered a visual eye-candy collection.

Tidbits from my art & culture Blogzine Art Nectar << (yea, you can click it to check it out) and my dabblings in photography and artwork are peppered throughout.

LightMates are soft anthropomorphic pillows and warming lamps. This awfully attractive creature heats, lights and provides company.

From Four Corners Books is Anthony Hope&#8217;s The Prisoner of Zenda, illustrated by Mireille Fauchon. As with its books to date, design is paramount but, for this release, it&#8217;s the bespoke typeface that stands out.

Uranium Glass Under Blacklight
Uranium glass is glass which has had uranium, usually in oxide diuranate form, added to a glass mix before melting. The proportion usually varies from trace levels to about 2% by weight uranium, although some 19th-century pieces were made with up to 25% uranium.
The most typical colour of uranium glass is pale yellowish-green, which in the 1920s led to the nickname vaseline glass based on a perceived resemblance to the appearance of petroleum jelly as formulated and commercially sold at that time. Specialized collectors still define &#8220;vaseline glass&#8221; as transparent or semitransparent uranium glass in this specific colour.
