Chihuly time!

It has been too long.  Chihuly is too wonderful.

Of course Chihuly learned his craft in Italy, so for me looking at his glass is like looking through a glass into the Italian past.  It’s how I roll.

I can’t get enough of his work.  I take all out-of-towners to the Seattle Center to see the exhibit there and everyone is amazed.

All of these works are from the Seattle Center exhibit.

You have heard of the Sistine Chapel ceiling.  But, at Seattle Center, there is a luminous ceiling composed of glassworks. Gorgeous.

And then there is this humongous outdoor installation.

Some of his glass creations, like this white one above, reminds me of a taffy pull or some elaborate French confection.

Get yourself to a Chihuly exhibit next chance you get, in Seattle or anywhere!
