Notes About The Poem

 

Picture sourced from Kew garden's site

Dale Chihuly

Dale Patrick Chihuly
His creations sell for mega sponduli
A sculptor whose work is really first class
I adore his flowers made from blown glass

Last week my son went to the exhibition in Kew gardens London and sent me the most spectacular photographs which have introduced me to this amazing artist. We have now booked to go to London to see the exhibition for ourselves and my son has booked us tickets as an early Christmas present

Rico Leffanta October 8, 2019 at 5:57 PM For many centuries glass has imitated diamonds, so we know people find it beautiful! Enjoy your trip! Aloha! Rico Jan Allison October 9, 2019 at 3:12 AM Thanks rico:-) hugs Jan xx

Gershon Wolf October 8, 2019 at 11:04 AM Oh, I adore Dale's glass-blowing too!! … Just in case you haven't, please check out Lino Tagliapetra's work as well. He's beyond amazing! Cheers, Gershon Jan Allison October 8, 2019 at 12:09 PM I'd never heard of Dale chihuly until son went to the exhibition last week, will Google lino, thanks for the heads up:-) hugs Jan xx

Andrea Dietrich October 7, 2019 at 5:37 PM People who can do this kind of thing are so amazing. I learned a new word today: sponduli (but actually, what IS it?) Jan Allison October 7, 2019 at 5:47 PM Sponduli or sponudla is a slang term for money:-) hugs Jan xx

Tom Cunningham October 7, 2019 at 1:46 PM A really talented artist Jan, those pics are amazing. Nice tribute to his talent. Tom. Soup mail. Jan Allison October 7, 2019 at 5:10 PM What is more exceptional is he is blind in one eye after a serious car crash in the uk!:-( hugs Jan xx

Caren Krutsinger October 7, 2019 at 1:41 PM I have a pinterest board full of his masterful pieces of glass. It is spectacular in a photograph. I have no idea how wonderful it is in person! Nicely penned. Have fun! Jan Allison October 7, 2019 at 5:09 PM I hope to post some of my own pics caren. I also Google to see how much his glass work goes for and the prices run to thousands of dollars just for a glass bowl! :-) hugs Jan xx

Bobby May October 7, 2019 at 1:27 PM That is truly a art, I have seen so many awesome things made out of glass!! Jan Allison October 7, 2019 at 5:08 PM I can't wait to go to the exhibition and hope to be able to post some of mine or my son's pictures with the poem:-) hugs Jan xx
