lovely morning spent going through my new Chihuly book admiring all the gorgeous glass chandeliers and remembering my visits to Seattle and Atlanta… 

of all the installations I always lean toward the blue ones… although this mauve one kind of caught my eye…

I’ve followed his work for many years, after being introduced to it by my older daughter…

my first live view of his work was in Seattle on our way home from our Alaskan cruise… it was a stellar way to end the trip and we actually met Dale while we were wandering around Chihuly Garden and Glass…

this past June we went to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens for a Chihuly exhibition… my favourite there was the boat and spheres with this goddess…

the book was a lovely treat from a friend who had recently been to a city that had some Chihuly installations and while she was there she had the chance to see a few of the pieces as well…

if you have the opportunity to see any of his work in person I strongly recommend you take the time to check it out… 

amazing…
