Moving out to Seattle was like hitting paydirt, with Dale Chihuly and the Pilchuck School. I love love Chihuly's work--so vibrant and fluid and organic. These are from a shopping mall near me; I love the chandelier. It is three separate layers of all these colorful explosions of shapes and forms.
The green is from a water feature on the ground floor--several of the reed/grass type green pieces come up out of the water. Behind them is a 3 story piece of clear glass that has water sheeting down it, which gives the other pieces of glass sculptures behind the glass a really other-wordly look. Anyway, I LOVE Chiculy's work and want to get down to Tacoma to go to his Museum of Glass and see what else will blow me away.

Oh how I love hand blown glass. At the yearly local fair they used to have a glass blower and I used to stand there and watch him for hours.
These are so fabulous. My step father is a glass blower and I could just watch him for hours. Its so peaceful, so I can totally relate to your journaling on this as well. The colors are fantastic, Pat!

Your photos have the most amazing texture...these are no exception...wow!

Ok, now I want to move to Seattle. The ugly building didn't convince me, but this certainly does. I really love the 2nd photo, the way the light reflects off of it.
Great shapes and colors, very interesting!
