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.
Digital Spring…
Had fun playing with some itKuPilli designs along with one of my freebie vintage text papers. Spring is here!
Freebie Vintage Paper Kit
I have a small freebie vintage paper kit that I put together for Design Cuts; http://www.designcuts.com. They have some of the best deals for graphics designers, digital artists, for anyone who loves to create digitally! Here is the link for the freebies: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/designcuts/sherre-hulbert-design-cuts-vintage-textures.zip I created the above piece using several of the freebies from my small kit along with some of Design Cuts Vintage Bundle textures; I also used a photoXpress.com image (female face).
Texture Tuesday, Hold Fast to Dreams
A photo of the vignette I have set up in my entry way. I created the mixed media canvas a year or so ago. I love birds and love to feed them and make sure they have water (drought conditions here right now). I used kk_grungedup for the texture. I also used kk_daysofold Lightroom preset, lightening the exposure just a bit.
Trio Photo for 2B
I had taken this photo in Maui in December. The outside dining table under the lanai was the most beautiful place to have morning devotions. Looking out to sea, seeing Lanai, whales; hearing birds singing, smelling the floral scents of Hawaii… God is so gracious. I used kk_havana for the texture on two layers; one at color burn at a low opacity, and the other at soft light at low opacity.
A Road of Possibilities
A photo of the road to Hana, Maui, taken by my daughter when we were there a couple of weeks ago. Definitely not for the squeamish, this road leads to so many lovely possibilities. For the Possibilities theme for “Where’s My Backpack?” http://wheresmybackpack.com/2014/01/03/travel-theme-possibility/
A Matter of Perspective
A quirky sign on the Road to Hana Highway. Taken by my daughter Ami. Texture by Kim Klassen, kk_franklin.
The Joys of Christmas Present
A snippet of my mantel decorations. I used kk_franklin for the texture.
