Dale Chihuly inspired

Photo Details

Poster: sleepyinseattle

Well we love our Dale Chihuly sculptures here in the Pacific Northwest, there are so many around they are like pigeons! One of my favorites is from our local Bellevue Mall- https://www.pinterest.com/pin/59532026294124960/
I used some of the colors that I found in this sculpture as my inspiration today. I used the heavy plastic that some of my Spellbinders dies came in to cut out the butterflies (SU Bigz die)

WOW Your faux glass technique turned out so cool....your butterflies are so like Chihuly's pieces...bold and so pretty done in a shiny glass medium..how clever of you to use some old spellbinders plastic...made me smile when I read that. How lucky for you to have so many Chihuly masterpieces on display in your area. Thanks for playing along Joanne.
