seattle on my mind {part 2}

understatement. I'm the one that will wear the same earrings for 18 months and the one that's had a white sofa for going on 18 years. The exagerated and over-adorned is not for me, although I can appreciate it's place in art: Sagrada Familia (and anything Gaudi for that matter) in Barcelona is FANTASTIC, Italian Renaissance (Sistine Chapel, Florence's Boticelli or the scultures in Rome's Galleria Borghese), Monmarte in Paris, and on and on... je t'aime. Sigh.. So, when I saw the photos of the Chihuly Museum in Seattle my first reaction was "umm..I'll pass". Reminded me of Liberace or the blown glass in Venice that is just too much, TOO MUCH. A friend on facebook saw I was in Seattle and recommended I go and I felt like I had to. I mean, I didn't want to be rude?? :) So we did and wow. Wow! There is a place where gaudy and crazy busy and colorful and wonderful can colaborate and the Chihuly is where it's at! Loved it and was intrigued and inspired. It was a photographer's dream (thanks, Chihuly, for allowing photography!) and lo and behold, yet another angle to photograph that needle I love so much :)
