I have always been fascinated by Chihuly's blown glass. In Las Vegas I have stood and gazed at the decorated ceiling in the Bellagio Hotel with his glass art pieces. I have walked through museums where his glass has been on display. Each time I have attended the NW Tea Festival in Seattle I have wanted to visit the Chihuly Museum nearby, but hadn't taken the time. This recent trip to Seattle I said, "OK, I must go to the Chihuly Museum!". So off I went. Enjoy the views of gorgeous glass pieces. It is truly amazing!
It is right next to the Space Needle in the Seattle Center.
This glass sphere reminded me of a cinnamon roll.
It felt like these beautiful glass structures were growing from the ground.
The colors are just magnificent in the garden.
Then inside glass was hanging above our head's and surrounding us. It was awesome.
It felt like I was floating through the sea.
A secret room surrounded me in color.
What a imagination to come up with these creations.
Even the small pieces delighted the eyes.
Have you ever seen Chihuly glass in person? It is truly stunning. I am so glad I finally paused long enough to enjoy.
Sending love,

Such amazing creativity and artistry with glass, color, shapes and design! The first Chihuly glass I saw was the chandelier in the Victoria & Albert museum in London. Simply gorgeous! i can't even imagine creating such a work of art, let alone figuring out how to suspend it! Amazing!
