First, thanks to all of you who looked at my photos of the
International District. I have a real treat for you today!! Our DD has
a birthday in May and our SIL has a birthday in July. For part of
their gifts, we took them to the Chihuly Garden and Glass at Seattle
Center. I had wanted to do this for quite some time. I was totally
amazed. If you ever get a chance to see one of his displays GO! I have
divided this into 2 posts. Today it will be the inside. Tomorrow, I
will show you the garden. I can't tell you how much we enjoyed this
day!! I will warn you that there are lots of pictures but not too many
words.
The Glass Forest
The Sea Life Room. This was about 15 feet tall.
Amazing details!
This
is called the Persian ceiling. The glass ceiling is covered with these
incredible glass sculptures. It is lighted from above.
The Mille Fiori Room.This area covered about 40 feet at least.
Ikebana and Float Boat. The floor was mirrors so everything was reflected as though you were on a very calm lake.
Chandeliers- about 8 to 10 feet wide.
About 6 feet long and 3 feet wide.
Tomorrow I will take you outside this amazing place.

We love Chihuly's works as well. We've seen them in several different places in the Midwest. Can't wait to see your next post.
ReplyDeleteOh his work is so beautiful! I've seen a couple of his installations and I would go see another any time I could. Thanks for sharing these wonderful pictures.
ReplyDeleteWe were lucky enough to see his stunning pieces here in Pittsburgh a few years back! Loved your photos, Barb--they brought back such wonderful memories. The boats were my favorite!
