Many of you have featured works of Dale Chihuly, and I have longed to see them with my own eyes. In Seattle I finally did. So, I guess he needs no introduction – just enjoy!
Starting with the ceiling:
Floor – Ikebana boat and Niijima Floats.
Both his own boats.
Glorious displays everywhere in the rooms.
Next week I will post some more, chandeliers, from his pavillion and from the garden too. He is an extraordinary artist. They showed a movie on his life, work and exhibitions. I needed that to understand how spontaneous his ideas come up, and how it is possible to transport these enormous glassworks all over the world.

Impressive, dear Anne-Christine! Thank you very much!
Thank you – hope you enjoyed!
😊😊😊🎃🍁☕
They are so fantastic! I liked the boat full of many colors and shapes.
Yes, they really are fantastic. I was very glad to have seen the exhibition.
I’m so glad you had the chance to go to the Chihuly Glass show, Ann Christine. I was there last August.
I guess you found it just as amazing as I did!
Thanks love his work

Gorgeous photos of Dale Chihuly glass. I love his use of shapes and bright colors 😀 😀
Yes – so many of you Americans have seen his exhibitions, but to me it was a once in a lifetime I guess. Thank you!
Wow, fabulous! I especially love the ones that look like poppies 🙂
I love those ones too, Sarah. Thank you! It is hard to leave the exhibition – I could have waolked there for hours, but they closed.
Truly extraordinary artist! Thanks for sharing your equally beautiful images. 🙂🌻
I am happy to share – loved to see his work with my own eyes!
Nicely photographed, dear Ann-Christine 👍
Hanne-Dina saw some of his originals in Miami.
With love from the sunny coast

Interesting how he manages to fly his work all over the world! I wonder how much is lost or smashed?
All the same BUT each very different…. fun and colourful shots 🙂
Thank you, David – an amazing artist he is.
Gorgeous art you’ve captured so well.
Thank you – happy to share too!
This is really exceptionally beautiful and almost unbelievable how this artist manages all this. The colors are beautiful and the special shapes make it seem like you have entered a completely different world. Thanks for the beautiful images !
Thank you for commenting too, and I am so glad you found his flowers or creatures – or whatever they are – beautiful! I think of the sea when I see them.
You showcased his work beautifully
Thank you, Ritva!
I’ve never managed to see any of Chihuly’s work. But these vibrant photos are a great second best.
Margaret – I never thought I would see it either, maybe it will come back to London!
Fingers crossed. But that’s still a long way …

Crazily wonderful, aren’t they? As Jude says, sea creatures, anemones and giant scallops rippling with life. Not just to imagine them but to create them is completely amazing, as are your photographs.
Thank you, Jo – I am immensely glad I finally could see his work with my own eyes!

A totally new artist and work for me – homework needed . . . obviously much imagination and colour . . . the latter oft not favoured by me . . . ?
I hope you liked it anyway, Eha – ♥
I love his work. I saw it in Kew Gardens near London…
Yes, I love it too – and as I missed out on Kew Gardens…
I love his work and have been fortunate to see quite a number of his installations, including some of what you shared so beautifully. Thanks for reminding me of the gorgeous colors and shapes he and his fellow artisans produce! 😍
I must say it was worth every minute there – even if he cannot blow glass anymore, he and his team are fantastic.
I agree!
Just stunning. Both the works and the photography. I’m seeing the beauty of the ocean here.
So am I – thank you, Jude.
