More on Innerland, and this permanent account thing.
Yes yes yes! Finally found some pictures and info online about Eric Hilton's Innerland, which I raved about in an earlier post as the only piece of art I'd ever drool over owning. By the way, I was wrong--it's not made up of only sixteen cubes of glass, but rather twenty-five.
It was four years in the making. And no wonder.
Lovely photos of it, taken by a visitor to the CMOG, are here. See the photo in the link; it's a stunner, which is why I linked to it first. There are four in all; click "previous" three times to see the rest.
The Corning Museum of Glass, where it's currently displayed, has good info and a pic on its site. You can zoom the pic, although it really doesn't come close to capturing the full effect of the piece (for starters, the lighting's a bit dull and you can't see the way the light refracts through the glass to fall on the background).
A great source, unfortunately not online, is the small collection of marvelous closeups in the book Steuben Glass: An American Tradition in Crystal, which is where I first saw and fell in love with it.

Haven't been on LJ much this past week. Where have I been that the permanent account sale completely passed me by, eh? It's tempting, but I'll pass on it for now. The main draw is the 100 userpics. Honestly, I barely touch the other features. If 100 userpics will come eventually to regular paid accounts, I can wait.
