WOW wednesday: I Love Chihuly

So a while back Brent and I got to see the most AMAZING Chihuly exhibit at Cheekwood here in Nashville. I was geeking out during the entire thing and I'm pretty sure I still drool every time I see a photo of his work. 

For those of you who aren't familiar with Dale Chihuly, here is a quick run-down: He is a glass blower who is "the man" in the his industry. He was actually introduced to glass while studying interior design (which I totally dig) and his work is in more than 200 museum collections worldwide. Basically, he is awesome.

So let's see if you start drooling...(and all these pictures come from the Chihuly website.)

THE BOATS, 2008


 PERSIAN PERGOLA CEILING, 2002

SCORPION TAILS AND BAMBOO, 2008

 WALLA WALLAS, 1996

That's just a taste of his skills. Check out his website, http://www.chihuly.com/, to see more pictures and if you are ever near an exhibit, you MUST GO.


Until next time...
