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

For many centuries glass has imitated diamonds, so we know people find it beautiful! Enjoy your trip! Aloha! Rico

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

People who can do this kind of thing are so amazing. I learned a new word today: sponduli (but actually, what IS it?)

Sponduli or sponudla is a slang term for money:-) hugs Jan xx

What is more exceptional is he is blind in one eye after a serious car crash in the uk!:-( hugs Jan xx

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!

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
