I've never had a Chihuly. Am I deprived?

This would look great on something more expensive than any of the furniture I own...

1. I heard he barely blows his own stuff anymore

...which, as I look at it, is an odd thing to type. :D

Regardless. I heard he has a stable of interns who churn out the merch for the masses... that is, the masses with a big chunk of change to blow on such things.

4. That's true

He's quite the diva now, more a consultant than an artist.

Too bad.

2. *Just make yourself a danged que-sa-diLLa*

And forget about chihuly! lol

3. We have a big Chihuly installation in a museum where I live

At least I have that! It's on the ceiling.

5. I saw one at the Venetian

in Vegas. At least I think it ws the Venetian that has the huge ceiling Chihuly sculpture. I was told it was worth over a million dollars. It was quite impressive.

6. My lil bro is learning to blow glass

7. Good for him and his racket.

For my tastes, he's on a level with Thomas Kincaid, THE PAINTER OF LIGHT!, but teachers and critics all dance the poot.

A Chihuly is below a Church of Christ "scholar"-annotated Bible on my shopping list.
