The Excellent Brilliance of Glass

Dale Chihuly, mastermind of glass. Thanks to Pat over at her blog Mille Fiori Favoriti which featured some gorgeous photos she took of the Chihuly installation at an Atlantic City Hotel she visited recently, I remembered a piece on Chihuly done by PBS years ago, on his magnificent installation in Venice. Couldn't find it on youtube or over at PBS though. But I found something else you might like to view: The Chihuly glass installation at the Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh. Something stunning to see in between baking or shopping or whatever else you've got planned for tonight or tomorrow. If you're like me, you'll be cooking anything that can overnight in the fridge, tomorrow.

Did you ever imagine that glass could be worked in such shapes and sizes and brilliance of color?
