To end my 3 day Labor Day Weekend, I decided to take a fourth.
We are going for a record here in Seattle, with this being the 48th day in a row with no rain. The driest streak is 51 days, and that was back in 1951.
So, with the sun shining, and with my oldest friend, we went to Seattle Center on Tuesday to see the Chihuly Glass Exhibit, which has only been open for about 4 months. I shall let the pictures speak for themselves.
Our reflections.
Outside in front of the greenhouse. Yes, that's all glass.
Classic Chihuly Bowls
These were above - just like the Glass Bridge at the Tacoma Glass Museum.
One of my favorites.

I was in heaven - with Dale Chihuly.
Our very own designanator went to the Rhode Island School of Design when Chihuly was teaching there.

Thank you very much for the very nice mention about my time at the school when he was also there and for including the link to my post about him! It was amazing to be in the same school and all of the stories related to that. Providence and RISD were very fortunate to have him creating so many wonderful pieces and teaching there for approximately a decade, as well!

Shuttterburg: I know he has traveling shows. This one is permanent - they leased the space at the foot of the Space Needle for the next 30 years.
Annaliese & Ande - thanks for stopping by. Glad you liked the pics.
Peeling: Didn't know about the middle school in Tacoma. That's very cool. I love the Glass Museum in Tacoma too. They have much more than just Chihuly.
John - thought you would like this! I thought the first one was so creative witht he Space Needle in the background, until, on my way out I picked up a brochure and there was that exact shot. Apparently, everyone take it. ha. But this one's mine...and I love it.

Stathi: Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm glad I introduced you to Chihuly.
Toritto: Then your coffee table would be worth about $10,000!
Terri: Thanks
Gerri: So glad you have now been introduced. His work is really amazing.
Diary: thanks for stopping in
jl: the boats are full size row boats - whatever that size may be. The way they were lit and with the glass floor as reflection, these were one of my favorites.
Lezlie: My pleasure :)
