More of the Amazing Work from the Garden of Glass Exhibit!

This is a display of Craig Mitchell Smith's work. There are few pieces by Dale Chihuly still around the Botanical Garden. I'll try to point those out.

These are all on display at the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis being intertwined with the amazing plants, flowers and sculptures. While most of the pieces were made by making smaller pieces that were attached in various ways (wires, magnets, etc,) some were larger, single pieces. Many were taken to the next level with colored lighting, some were static and some rotated from hue to hue.

All of the pictures in here were left at large resolutions, allowing you to click the "Full Size Image" links below to see some of the finer details.

Right at the entrance, you're greeted with one of the remaining, yet MASSIVE Chihuly pieces.

The other Chihuly pieces hang out in this beautiful pond in the center of the garden.

And I think, but not positive, that this is another remaining Chihuly.

Truly amazing! And accidentally buying an Australian cat... happens to the best of us :)

Woah these shots are so sweet. And the kitten of course :D

Really awesome post! Keep going

Morning Sykochica, I'm a big fan of Dale Chihuly's work. The big blue one at the entrance reminds me of the ones on exhibit at Atlantis in the Bahamas.

It just struck me how difficult it must be to transport all of those large pieces! And super stressful to install as well, I imagine.

Bajabbers!!!!! This is some far out there amazing work!!! Love it! Thank you so much for sharing!!:-)

Thank you! It was quite amazing to see it in person. I'm also really happy we waited for a slightly less "hot as the sun" day to go. Lol

That is awesome, but I know if I had some of those sculptures it would only be a matter of time before they ended up as menacing little shards buried deep in my foot.

Very beautiful photographs! The cat photo is amazing. Thanks.

Awesome honestly
I wish I was there
Lovely

Very good quality of pictures, very impressive!
