Welcome to Pink Saturday. Lets thank Beverly from
How Sweet The Sound for making this all possible. Altho most of my post is not pink, there is one picture of pink glass for you to enjoy. I spent a day this past week at the Desert Botanical Garden enjoying and taking in the beauty of artist Dale Chihuly. His work was so beautiful, that I had to share a small part of it with you. I will also show you more next week as well. The above picture is the first piece you see when you enter the gardens. It's breathtaking and overwhelming as well. Please enjoy.
A close up, I can't imagine how this all gets packed up and shipped out.
This is the gorgeous green glass that you see when you drive into the parking lot.....needless to say, your mouth drops!
This hanging piece of artwork is mesmerizing, it's hard to take your eyes off of it, it's so gorgeous.
Beautiful hues of blues come together is a stunning vision of beauty.
Creamy white and almost alien looking, all the tops are thin and curly.
Shiny pink, thin at the base and bulbous at the top. This artwork is meant to represent the cactus is surrounds.
This view represents three separate pieces of artwork. One is the purple in the back, then there is the shiny pink and finally the silver and green. All handblown, all glass.
Now tell me, who wouldn't want a gorgeous boat load of orbs in their backyard??!! Everyone of them is hand blown and different from the rest. It's incredable.
I can't begin to imagine how many pieces of glass it takes to make something like this so beautiful. There just are no words to explain what seeing this work is like.
And last, but by no means least, is this glass artwork that is called "the moon," so beautiful. Watch next week for some more pictures of this amazing artist.....to be continued.

I am very familiar with the work of Dale Chihuly as my daughter is a glass bead artist & studying his art was a passion of hers. I think he is a Glass Artist Genius!!
Thanks for introducing him to people who don't know about his work!!

Isn't Dale Chihuly amazing? I've been a fan for some time. I read that he has a vision disability....which makes his work all the more amazing, don't you think?
Best Wishes,
Kay
Oh Wow! Oh Wow! His work is amazing! Thanks for sharing!
GORGEOUS!
Wishing you and yours a wonderful family weekend. I will be remembering my father who served in WWII, and praying for all of our military who are in harms' way.
Hi Char
I had to take a double take on these beauties. What gorgeous blown glass art. WOW
My MIL was a big fan of blown glass, but this would have "blown" her away for sure.
Happy Pink Sat.
Love Claudie

This is amazing!! Thank you for sharing! I wish I lived close enough to see it in person!
OH Char! Thank you SO much for sharing these photographs! We were lucky enough to see the Chihuly exhibit last year on a trip to SF at the deYoung Museum.
His boat of colored spheres looked fantastic, but seeing it out in nature....oh MY!!! What a fantastic installation this must be to see in person!
How pretty and interesting! IT is amazing to see how many ways people can use their creativity. It's just a smidgen of the creativity of our Creator in us. No telling what He has waiting for us in HEaven.
Have a wonderful and meaningful Memorial Day!

I've long been a huge fan of his ... but this yellow sunburst of glass is nothing short of spectacular!
...and I have to admit, those weird alien blobs with pigs' tails are totally captivating!
Thanks for sharing your day with us!
Whooo, simply stunning, Char, I can just imagine what impact it had in real life! I'd hear of Dale, but this is the first time I've seen any of his work. Amazing! Happy Pink Saturday!
Oh how great! I saw a Chihuly exhibit last year at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco. It really is amazing what he does with glass! And now to see his works of art outdoors is really phenomenal. Thank you for sharing these photographs with us, thank you for visiting me at The Tea Room, and Happy Belatede Pink Saturday to you, too! ~Arleen
That is surreal looking! I can't believe it! It's beautiful, but these art pieces would last about 2 days out here where I live!
These are just beautiful. I love the boat with the coloured gords...just lovely. They are wonderful works of art.
Thank you for sharing

Thank you so much for this post! I saw some of his work, many years ago at Grounds for Sculpture in NJ. I was fascinated. The pieces in the garden are just fantastic. Your photos are terrific and I clicked on each one to enlarge. This is just wonderful and I hope you won't mine if I mention your blog and send some of my readers your way.
♥, Susan
