We love Chihuly and luckily the city we live near loves it too. We are very lucky to have two different venues to visit Dale Chihuly's incredible glass and art works. We went to "The Columbus Museum of Art" yesterday to see "Chihuly Illuminated". We usually enjoy Chihuly at the Franklin Park Conservatory in a more natural setting with plants and water so it was interesting to see it in a more formal setting lit up from above and below. The kids also made some amazing Chihuly inspired artwork that I will share in the next few days.

Glass Forest #3 2008 (Paige said it looks like candles with the wax pooling at their bases)

Tabac Basket Grouping with Drawing Shards and Oxblood Body Wraps, 2008

Smoky and Gilded Opal Chandelier, 2008

Mile Fiori, a 56 foot long garden of glass composed of bold forms in vibrant colors.

The girls enjoyed seeing the reflection of the glass in the mirroed settings.
