Yeah, it almost killed me...2000 pieces hand cut for one table. But, it’s GORGEOUS.

((Did I mention the stitches I got at the ER at 2am?, told ya it almost killed me))

“What is it sista?,” you ask. Deep in your heart, You Know…

It’s a mosaic of the Bermuda pink sand resting near the green flora seen at the bottom. This light pink glass sits against the white pearly glass “shells.” It then moves to light blue glass which is the surf, as it crashes into seafoam, the cut mirror. This reflects the light on the ocean. (Did I mention how impossible mirror is to cut?) The ocean gets deeper & so do the colors. You know when you stand on the shore & look to the horizon the water colors are deep & then it looks like it simply drops off? That’s what happens in my mosaic. This gives way to the sunset. It’s about 6pm in Bermuda & the sky is aglow with pinks, purples, & blues.

“The Mighty Wurlitzer”

Photography by Jenny Shain

The Might Wurlitzer, also known as “Big Bertha” is the only gold leafed Wurlitzer of it’s kind. Installed in 1927 for the opening of the “Showplace of The South,” this tremendous antique instrument can be seen and heard at The Alabama Theatre.

It’s design included eight sets of percussion, complete sound effects for silent films, and now has been expanded to blow 2,008 pipes! *Secret: many of which are hidden behind the theatre’s right curtain!*

The Alabama Theatre was titled “The State Historical Theatre” in 1993 and has undergone an incredible floor to ceiling restoration that included cleaning or replacing the vast areas of gold leaf paint.

For me, the Alabama Theatre will always hold a very special place in my heart. It reminds me of the good ole days, leaning over the balcony watching “White Christmas” with my family. Thinking about my grandad, “Gene,” climbing up the back alley fire escape to watch a movie here when he was a kid, too poor to buy a ticket. And thinking about one day when it was being built in 1927, my great grandmother was giving birth to my Papaw grandfather. I guess as an artist and a musician, it seems like the perfect place too. Showing that the fine arts do matter, that good design, great architecture, history, & family all come together to celebrate life & talent. I think that is really important. Don’t you?

See the Mighty Wurlitzer in action!

“MUNY REFLECTIONS”

Forest Park in St. Louis
The Muny is the place where the World’s Fair was held in 1904 in St. Louis. Hence, “Meet Me in St. Louis.” The Muny is the World’s Largest Outdoor Musical Theatre! The Muny gazebo sits in front as the symbol for the Muny.
The name “The Muny” came years ago when the theatre was named the Municipal Theatre Association of St. Louis. It’s a an incredible place where artists come from all over the nation to create & perform the best musicals ever written!

“All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king.” ~ Tolkien
