Through the Looking Glass



Dale Chihuly creates magic. I had the pleasure of viewing his Lime Green Icicle at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and it was breathtaking.  The glass creation stands 42 feet tall and is made up of 2,342 pieces of glass in the shape of spikes. It weighs 10,000 pounds and fills the visual field with color and refractive light.  The courtyard where it is housed is a pass through area that also has a restaurant and benches where you can sit and just stare in wonder and amazement. Seattle is opening a museum of Chihuly glass soon.  I can't wait to visit.
