About beads

Got some scrap glass to play with yesterday. These beads are made from strips of Spectrum sheet glass. I think I might have to invest in some of this stuff!

5 days in Vegas

Spent 5 days in Vegas and couldn't seem to win a thing so I went shopping instead. Gotta love that Fashion Show Mall. I could have spent all 5 days in there when I wasn't standing in front of the Bellagio watching the dancing water. Hmmm... I think there is a glass show there in April and I may have to make another trip, and hmmm... I think Jimmy Buffet is playing at the MGM April - that would make the trip absolutely necessary, and hmmm, I think I need to buy another t-shirt at the Star Trek Experience Gift Shop. Thanks to my sister for sharing the great pictures I have posted.

Chihuly's Glass ceiling in Bellagio Lobby

I have added a link to his site... click on the link and go to Public Installations - Bellagio. I was absolultely blown away when I first saw his work in person at the Seattle Art Museum many years ago.

Fremont Street

It's not Bloomingdales, but the prices are right.

Too funny!

Fashion Show Mall

This is paradise! Neiman Marcus, Nordstroms, Bloomingdales, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Macy's (not crazy about it - it seems worse then the Bay if that's possible) all under one roof!!! We didn't get to see all of it and we shopped there for 2 days. MUST GO BACK!!! The shoes the shoes the shoes the shoes the shoes!!
