Will the real Venus please stand up?

This month's theme over at the Art Bead Scene is the

Birth of Venus. It's a beautiful beautiful painting by

Sandro Botticelli, c. 1482–1486. Since I don't have

my entry quite done yet I thought I would treat you to

something I've been saving for just the right time, when I

don't seem to have much going on.

There's an earlier version of the Venus,

The Venus ( or woman)of Willendorf:

She was created between 24,000 BCE – 22,000 BCE.

If you want to read a little more about her go to

Wickipedia. Because the other Venus I have to show

you is the one created by me in a lamp work class at

the Bead and Button show a long time ago.

After you look at this you'll understand why flame

and sculptural glass are not the thing for me to do!

I present to you my version of the Venus:

Backside

Profile. Isn't she a hoot? Those aren't eyes on top

of her head. Somehow her lips ate her eyes... No

comments are necessary, I'll wrap her back up

and put her away. Tomorrow I'll show my entry for

the Art Bead Scene...its much prettier!
