This photo of Dale Chihuly's beautiful Banana Swirls Glass I took from the internet. It was so beautiful, that I knew I had to do something with it. And October's ATC was the perfect time to use it.

 

Born in 1941 in Tacoma, Washington, Dale Chihuly was introduced to glass while studying interior design at the University of Washington. After graduating in 1965, Chihuly enrolled in the first glass program in the country, at the University of Wisconsin. He continued his studies at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), where he later established the glass program and taught for more than a decade.

It's beautiful, Carol and that picture makes for a perfect ATC - love the colors - it caught my attention right away - One day I hope to get to see those displays of art - your card is just so pretty - looks almost like watercolors at first glance - very creative to use this for your ATC

Love Chihuly glass, I've seen several exhibits including the one in Las Vegas. Just incredible! And your card is a real winner..so bright and colorful. Love it! This month's crop is about the best I can remember.
