Here is a shot I took last month in Seattle in the Chihuly garden. A friend said that this piece looks like a Chihuly self-portrait since he has a wild mass of curly hair. I thought it would be good for this week’s “yellow” theme for Kim Klassen’s Texture Tuesday. I used kk_july-1 for the texture layer, at 15% opacity and a blend mode of Color Dodge.
Chihuly Glass
Travel Theme: Glow
For Where’s My Backpack travel theme of “Glow.” Just one of many great Chihuly pieces. This one was inspired by Indian baskets. http://wheresmybackpack.com/2014/04/25/glow/
Chihuly Reflection 2
Sensory overload! The colors were just amazing!
Ceiling Magic
This is a close-up shot of just one of the many pieces that make up a glass ceiling in the exhibit hall. I love how the close vantage point creates an abstract effect.
This lovely display shows how Dale Chihuly was inspired by Indian basket designs to create glass pieces reflecting not only their intricate patterns, but also even the slump that the baskets got with age. There are beautiful threads of glass incorporated into some of these pieces that are so beautifully delicate. He truly is a master as were the original basket makers.
Space Needle Through Conservatory
I added an onOne border to this shot taken from inside the conservatory where the glass flowers give their own frame to the space needle.
Chihuly Reflection 1
This is the first of many reflection images I took at the Chihuly exhibit in Seattle. The whole design of this exhibit was so perfectly put together; a breathtaking experience.
Simply Chihuly…
A lovely trio of Chihuly glass pieces. This photo was taken in Seattle, WA, at the beautiful Chihuly exhibit. I’ll post more photos of these lovely pieces soon. Thanks again for the lovely day, Mary Beth!!
For Kim Klassen’s Texture Tuesday, I used kk_simplistic at 21% opacity and a blend mode of Color Burn.
You should have seen the look on the mom’s face when her little boy thought these pedestals were a fun place to climb into!
