About Christopher Belleau

"There are many reasons why I work with glass. Though I was trained as a potter, apprenticing at age 13 to a craftsman from my home town in Wisconsin, I was eventually drawn to the more ethereal, fluid and translucent qualities of glass. But what really hooked me was the opportunity glass provides to play with color. I am the only glass blower in Rhode Island that makes colored glass from the raw ingredients on a regular basis. This allows for variations of intensity of hue, tone and depth which are not available with commercial colors. Recently, I have been experimenting with irridizing hot glass. I am captivated by the rainbow flow of colors with the variations of metalic and matt surface textures.

One of the aspects I truly enjoy about my profession is teamwork. Most of what I make requires the skill of another set of hands. I have the good fortune of working with many talented assistants. They have all brought with them unique ideas and ways of working from which I have learned and benefited.

The main focus of my work for the last 30 years has been the creation and production of glass flowers. Initially, I didn't even want to make flowers. A lot of glass blowers were doing them and they all looked pretty much the same. But the challenge of rendering these natural subjects in glass soon caught my imagination and I was on fire with ideas. I'm not attempting to make botanical specimens. Instead, I am making works of art inspired by nature. One of the tools I use to make flowers I developed for another purpose, making fish fins. I now have a line of more than 30 flower forms ranging from familiar flowers and exotics to purely fanciful. The most popular flower in my line is the iris. Though I make many flowers, each one is a unique creation requiring intense concentration and often great skill to produce.

In addition to flowers, I make many different types of vases, paperweights, perfume bottles, jewelry and other sculpture. One of my favorite things to make is glass fish. I am inspired by the infinite varieties and patterns of fish in nature. I enjoy letting my imagination run wild in their design.

I hope that the viewer finds my work to have a sense of beauty, magic, and maybe, even humor. It is a pleasure for me to share what I do. I find it all great fun and an endless challenge."

The watch has a problem with the alarm.
Color: Black/Black/Digital, Color: Black/Black/Digital
This is perhaps the nicest digital watch I’ve ever had, the watch is new, but it came broken, the alarm does not sound or better to say sounds so low, it is inaudible, is practically useless, do not know if it can be fixed, I’ll have to take you to a technician, the problem is that I am in Ecuador, I do not know if the guarantee will serve or can be returned. ------------------------- Este es quizás el reloj digital más bonito que he tenido, el reloj es nuevo, pero me vino averiado, la alarma no suena o mejor dicho suena tan bajo, es inaudible, es prácticamente inservible, no sé si se pueda arreglar, voy a tener que llevarle a un técnico, el problema es que estoy en Ecuador, no sé si sirva la garantía o se pueda devolver.

Great buy! But stopped working after 3 months
Color: Green
Great buy! Bought this for my husband and he loves it! I got him the dark green one. It’s stylish but still durable for physical activities like construction. Also it is completely waterproof which is great. Can be left on for showers or pools. Edit 3 months later it stopped working. Sent it to the manufacturer and they will hopefully send a new one or fix it.

Cheap Quality - 3 MONTH wait for warrantied repair!
Color: Black-Red/Digital/Black
About 40 days into my purchase, the watch starts doing a complete reset when I try to reset the timer, making me have to reset the date and time again. The Analog watch isn't any more reliable -- sometimes it will just stop temporarily and start again. I'll look at my watch and see the analog time, then realize it's 15 minutes behind actual time. So I called Timex for a warrantied repair. They told me I could send it in and it would take them about 3 MONTHS to repair it and get it back to me. 3 MONTHS, because they have to forward it to the Philippines for repair via the cheapest means possible. That is a ridiculous about of time to wait on a warrantied repair.
