Don S was a naturist his occupation prior to Blenko was in buidling and designing offices. Everything I've read indicates he loved nature, the earth and his god. We need more of these men. Untimely death - auto accident - resulted in DS leaving this earth before we were ready for him to go.

"Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood." ~ Marie Curie. This is one my BFs favorite quotations. If we attempt to understand the Blenko situation life will be easier?? Lets see now - why would one invest 2 Million and forget to pay a lien of 500,000? Sorry Marie Currie but I fear those with decison making power...
Hilary Are you still having difficulty with traffic to your The Blenko Project website? I would be willing to ask my boyfriend for help on your behalf. If this is still an issue. Perhaps we can chat via email? C.
A leading influence in the post World War II era of modern decorative arts, Blenko glass brought style, color and utility to that market. Now identified as mid century modern this economical line of art glassware is currently enjoying renewed interest by older collectors and new interest by young collectors on a budget.

A few years ago, I met Mr. Blenko when he was applying his signature to a couple of pieces at a Hallmark story. He told me that the holy family piece is very valuable...some have sold vor over $1000. Just an FYI

Was Don S. catholic?
A religous influence and wild life / nature influence appears in any of this designers works as I see them.

I like this one.
Don S was a naturist
his occupation prior to Blenko was in buidling and designing
offices.
Everything I've read indicates he loved nature, the earth and his god.
We need more of these men.
