Yesterday was my wife's birthday.
We saddled up and went to the confines of the big city, Seattle, to see a display of glass.
Some might know my wife works with glass, and sells her creations around the world, so it was of special interest to see this display.

The artist is a native born of the state, and has done work throughout the world.
The displays are amazing, and I highly recommend a viewing of his work if you ever get a chance.

Here is a picture I took with my Iphone.
I am stand at one end on the 40 by 15 foot (approx) display.
It doesn't do it justice, but I hope it gives you an idea.
His glass is all hand blown.



And this display is approximately the same size but has more a sphere shaped theme.....



His work really highlights his fondness for the garden and sea, as most of it takes its seems to echo a semblance.....

Well golly Jog, you is almost there, you just need a "gl" and you'd be home  

raydawg - outstanding work! I went to high school with a guy whose grandpa was a glass blower. Gramps went to some school in England, and paid for my friend to attend the same school. I've always been impressed by those who could make glasswork, in addition to those who can create with wood and metal.
