Yesterday's post had photos of the Dallas Arboretum, where a strange structure could be seen. 1smartcanerican was puzzled by it and asked what it was. Sleuth (what's in a name?), came up with the answer: "It's a glass art piece by Dale Chihuly. The Arboretum is hosting an exhibit of his work. At night, the pieces light up."
Amy, who's another sleuth extraordinaire, posted a picture of one of Chihuly's ceilings, followed by the link to an image search, which has countless magnificent examples of his work.
Sleuth suggested a post about Chihuly (hint, hint!) and I'm glad to oblige. I didn't know him or his work, but now I'm hooked. Learning from each other is one of the nicest things about this modest blog. A big thank you to all.
Here are some examples of Dale Chihuly's works, including some very early examples, shown in the first picture:
