Chihuly and Glass Blowing

How freaking cool is glass blowing? The first time I really appreciated the art form was when I saw the Chihuly exhibit in the Bellagio. Then there was an exhibition in the botanical gardens in Columbus and OSU offered a glass blowing class I considered taking but never got to it. Students would sell their work on the oval. Besides the typical plates, vases, etc. they also made smoking pieces and even more scandalous, dildos. Check out some of these cool works of art...



I took these at the Franklin Conservatory:




This is just the freakiest bush thing I have ever seen that was outside the building.
