About Me
- puddle
- Water gathering most days I wait through blue and sun till dusk or even later and the rose has faded to lavender, to gray some days, the sleet has started and the leaves underfoot are slick with ice somehow I'm never sorry and never learn one night I waited till the stars were out dropped the bucket into sound, only felt the weight of it filling and the night full of stars and the river full of stars and the bucket full of stars come morning, the coffee is also full of stars

LOVE DALE CHIHULY !!
I first heard about him, oh, six or seven years ago. I attended an Innovative Thinking seminar in Scottsdale, which is a 2 day lecture from ITers - and Dale was one of them. We had pretty close seats, and I loved his shoes with all of the paint on them.
A few years ago, Dale had his works displayed at the Garfield Park Conservatory, amid the trees, plants and flowers. Check it out.

I suspect that there are few people of any note that Denise has not been to a seminar or convention or dinner with!
And I totally agree on Chihuly!
I wish I could have seen his shoes!!

I've loved him since I started doing stained glass in the mid 80's. When you start getting involved with the glass world, he's one of the first you run into. And of course he's a Virgo. . . .
Yup, this is the first ever Chihuly work I saw (twas in Wikipedia). Then while making an article about him and the Italian Maestro L. Tagliapietra, I learned about his cool Seaforms; perhaps the Wow factor really belongs to his ceiling sculptures.
