Elena Zaycman’s glass sculptures will add a playful twist to your home. Centered around the natural world, they feature butterflies, moths, and plants, made using the Tiffany technique. Based in Saint Petersburg, Zaycman sells her unique pieces through her Etsy shop.

“When I began working independently, I started with small suspended pieces,” she shared in an interview with the Etsy blog, “but I wanted to take the idea of hassle-free installation even further and create something where people wouldn’t need to worry about nails or drilling holes in walls.”

Her solution? Attach the stained-glass pieces to brass bars, achieving independent objects that can easily be brought into peoples’ homes, with no hassle of actually hanging them. Naturally, the quality of the materials is equally important when it comes to their design. “I measure the quality of the glass not only visually, checking for color and cleanliness—or the lack of any extra coating—but also by touching,” says Zaycman. “Glass should be pleasant and smooth.”

In an interview with MOLD, Ormsby explained that fake fruit was “usually made from various materials [like] plastic, Lucite, glass or wood” and was typically “light, simplistic and exaggerated in form.” Her collection, however, takes the traditional form but adds to it the weight of crystal glass, colored in pink, blue, yellow, and lime.

Amongst her glass fruit, you can find a banana, pear, mandarin, and lemon. The process begins “by making a silicone mold of the original object, from which [she] can make wax replicas. The next step is to fettle (trim and clean) the wax, filling holes and removing any seams… Once that is done, [she] begins building a contour mold around the wax. This is made up of many layers of a plastic/silica mix built around the shape of the fruit.”

Since graduating from Elam School of Fine Arts in 2015, Ormsby has worked in a Glass Studio based in Auckland, New Zealand. Her latest glass fruit series, named “Devon Made”, had already caught the world’s attention and rightfully so.

“When I create my glass, I consider the magic of light, the way colors, shapes and patterns in the glass change under different lighting situations,” said the artist. “The candy collection came to life because I wanted to make the glass look tasty, like you could eat it. I’ve always loved sweet shops, the colors and the shapes, so I went full on trying to create a candy universe.”

Having graduated in fashion design from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London, Mardahl has exhibited her work around the world and has received several grants from the Danish Arts Council.

Her website states that as a designer, she likes exploring “the contrast between organic shapes and hard materials… Her designs bring life to spaces, and are equally capable of standing alone or blending in.”
