Is it slipping away into some strange alternate reality?

Is all that we know just an ethereal work of art, done by a mad painter?

Is it all just a golden dream, a swirling chaos a twisted chance?

Well, maybe all these things are true… but they have nothing to do with this post. This is really about this photo…

A super-close-up-macro-photograph that I took, lit from beneath with color-changing LED lights, of this…

The very first thing I made in that glass blowing class I took, a simple paperweight… a photo which I then added a swirl filter too…

And which I then used some other digital filter magic on… like the next one, my personal favorite… the ‘groovy rainbow’ filter…
