Glass Scene Under the Sea


Sure, this looks like a nice aquatic scenary.
However, this scene is not made out of leaves and plants and such, it is made out of blown glass. A man named Dale Chihuly made it.
Dale Chihuly is a famous artist who takes glass and makes art out of it.
He likes to make things look natural and as though they were part of nature.
What he does is blows glass into wild things, then sometimes he puts it in the woods, or lets it float down rivers. He also makes decorations and chandelliers. Most of his pieces sell for over one million dollars.
Although, Dave Chihuly only has one eye, he doesn't let it stop him from achieving beautiful masterpieces for the world to see.
One thing that he did was he took twenty-six huge ice slabs, brought them into a desert in Jerusalem, lit them up with neon lights, and watched to see how long it would take the huge masses of ice to melt.
The whole town gathered around to see as the ice slowly melted. It took three days and three nights until the ice was fully melted.
I think his art work is very unique and beautiful. You should check out more of his master pieces.
