This is the masterpiece from my practical exam as glazier master in May 2008. I decided to make an art object and gave myself the topic Greek Mythology, especially the legend of the Odyssey. I had the idea, to make a ship. But it´s not completely made of glass: The ship´s keel is made of black lacquered wood. The hull is outlined by altogether 30 small glass plates. I grinded and polished the edges of each single plate by hand. The two front plates show the carved portraits Odysseus and the goddess Athene. The carvings are followed by sandblasted, simplyfied portraits, which are getting smaler. I fixed the glass plates on each side of the keel with uv-glue (...and nobody wanted to believe, that it work,...but it did!).

This newsletter was "born" back in March 2007, from a conversation between ~Lareth and =FrozenStarRo, who with the help of their friends *Iardacil and =Sylwiaa , wanted to make something to promote known and unknown photomanipulators alike here on DeviantArt. As of September 2009 =ImaginaryRosse joined the project and will be helping us out with the weekly choices. While things have changed over time, the essence of the newsletter is still the same.

This is a special feature, with a selection of 50 manips from the past year that we loved.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.

We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
