Some of you know me well and how much I love sparkling glass. This sideboard captured my heart
The part I loved most were the flowers on the walls and would love to have them in my glass nook.
As I snapped around and under and through the group of people in front of it, one of the women pointed out to me, the whole display was made of human body parts. She said she knew because the last time a docent told her. There was no name, no artist, no time listed with this
I found the info on The Ringling Site and To listen to a video of Beth explaining the sculptures, Click HERE...
If you view the video you will understand the parts you see below are representative of the game the male of the house would carve on the sideboard.

I just could not see the body parts, so I am really glad you showed us!! She is a very deep thinker, like with the crib and cradle idea. The glass is gorgeous, it even has beautiful shadows. I cannot imagine how long it took her to make this sideboard. It looks massive, and I can;t imagine how it was transported, because of all the glass and heaviness.
Fascinating! Think of the hours spent on each piece.
WOW simply amazing and how fascinating too. I like the flowers on the wall also and the branches up at the top
Incredible!
I never would have seen the body parts had you not pointed them out. What an interesting piece. I love those flowers on the wall!
Sandra I am nearly speechless with these breathtaking glass photos.
Can you imagine being the one in charge of keeping them sparkling?
What beautiful work.
Oh there was a House Hunters last night out of your city. I think I saw a few familiar sights when they whizzed through the downtown area

Incredible! I looked at her work and i think a couple others would be my favorites, but probably not as fascinating as this. Glad you included the video interview.
I would love to see this in person...and I would love to see her as she does her work....it is amazing.
This was totally amazing!!
OH MY!!! I think those body parts need twinkle lights! What a gorgeous sideboard and I could spend hours just watching the lights playing off of the glass..no matter what the actual cut piece was :-)
Oh ... you had me going for an instant...I thought REAL human parts. Wbew!! Beautiful work.
That is a fascinating work of art. I love the glass designs on the walls, unusual and yet beautiful. Body parts were interesting too. This must have been a fascinating museum.
Oh my goodness....I love that. So beautiful.
That is as fascinating as it is beautiful.
That is spectacular! I don't remember seeing that one.
I love the glass goodies I call them. Something about glass ornaments. My friend she got a glass reindeer ornament last year with our Secret Santa party in my apt .
So I hope the person who got her as we don't know who the person is that gives us a present. I hope she picks my name
Love all of these.
The glass piece is stunning. However body parts...ick!
Exquisite! A masterpiece.
