Glass Sculpture

The graphic designer I worked with years ago loved Dale Chihuly's work. He does these crazy, glass blown chandeliers and installations.

This one is at the Bellagio:

This one was a Christmas decoration at the White House and is now at the Clinton library in Little Rock (I saw it):

Related Story: When my parents were building their house, their builder took them through some of his biggest, baddest houses. My mom talked about how this one house that was over the top in every respect had a giant chandelier that hung 2-3 stories high in the entry way of the house and looked like sea urchins. Well it ends up the largest privately owned Chuhuly chandelier is in The Woodlands. Wowser.
