Chartreuse
Wanna see chartreuse ? That was the work of artist/glassblower Dale Chihuly. I just spent about fifteen minutes ambling through his breathtaking website. It's hard to imagine just how he is able to construct such monumental pieces, given the limitations of the pipe . Oops, I seem to have stumbled upon a contraversy known only to glassblowers. This is what they're talking about. One never knows what one will come across on the web. BID* I didn't mean to --I meant the glassblower's pipe . I cannot imagine that glassblowers would be able to do any of their work in an altered state, given the dangers of working with molten materials. I also cannot imagine why John Ashcroft is wasting his valuable time going after glassblowers. It's such a comfort to have him in charge.
Talk about absolutely no denoument. Sorry
