Some experiences in life are so inspiring that your mind whirls with excitement at the mere memory of it. Such is the case with our visit to the Chihuly Bridge of Glass,<\/a> at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma Washington.<\/span><\/p>\n

At this awesome exhibit, thousands of pieces of colored glass creations from the legendary artist Dale Chihuly, are suspended inside of a 50 x 20 foot ceiling which covers the most unique highway overpass I’ve ever seen. It’s a pedestrian walkway that takes you over to the architecturally magnificent Union Station<\/a> showcased in the Vol-041-B color palette.

The Chihuly blown glass pieces are from his\u00a0 Seaforms<\/em> and Persian<\/em> collection… Absolutely Stunning!!!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Doug, the kids and I had the pleasure of visiting the Chihuly Glass Museum on a gorgeous sunny day this past August, and were awestruck by the colors and forms as the sunlight streamed through the colored glass forms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Obviously, Willow and Doug were madly snapping photos, as I was oo’ing and ahhing, saying… get this shot<\/em>… oh, get these ones<\/em>… this set here is so gorgeous<\/em>… ooo, don’t miss those ones!!<\/em> There really were unlimited possibilities for great pictures, I think poor Fisher thought we would never leave!<\/span><\/p>\n

Any way, I picked one of the photos Doug took, as the inspiration for next month’s Vol-042 A-series color recipes. With so many great shots taken that day, and with so many different color ways, don’t be surprised to see more palettes in the future, created from Chihuly’s fabulous works of art.<\/span><\/p>\n

The following recipes for this Vol-042 A-series color palette will be added to the Polymer Clay Members Library in November 2011:<\/span><\/p>\n
