Hehehehehehehehehehe Corina can't spell.
It makes me giggle to see someone with such masterful talent do something so
human as mess up the word that says it all--Lampwork. (Lamwork?)

She's pretty damn human, all right! That's a fine quality, I like
people who walk around with their humanity showing. I would have been
thinking the same thing, if it had been my auction... "Holy crap,
they're only BEADS!"

Come ON. This is insane.

It's the difference, in a real-market kind of way, between art and
craft. They may be one and the same to the maker, but the collector will
pay that kind of money for something they perceive as collectible art. I
think it's a wonderful step forward for lampwork as an art... we're
already there as a craft, but we have yet to be truly accepted as a fine
art. (I'm not saying that we're all artists, but there are some
lampworkers who are, and should be (and aren't) accepted as fine artists).

Even though I do hear some kvetching here and there (I don't mean in this
thread) about Corina's beads not being all-that, I do think her beads are art
as opposed to craft. Not every set of hers, but that's okay. Her stuff is
head-and-shoulders above the majority of other lampworkers, and I think the
inspiration and discovery is obvious in her glass. But it's an opinion, so
feel free to disagree. (I also think there're some sour grapes out there in
the Corina-kvetching....)

I agree. I don't like all of Corina's sets, but that's a subjective
thing. There are sets of hers that I like way more than the one we're
talking about, but that's a personal preference thing. When someone falls
in love with something and has to have it no matter what, that's good for
everyone.
I just hope everyone can remember that Corina is a person and she sees all
of this and has feelings about it. People should read the chats on her
website, because there are some people really trash talking her, and it's
really uncalled-for. (Not here, of course, we're pretty good about
respecting people for the most part)
Here's her page, the chat is Wednesday:

It's a shame that folks bash her. I'm not saying I don't think some of the
same things about some folks being better than Corina. I think it's hurtful
to say those things in a very public forum. I'm actually happy she received
such a high bid. Yes there is a cult around Corina that I'm hard pressed to
understand but don't we all kinda want the same thing?
