Chihuly"ing" ...THE TOWER! (almost done!)

So the tower is ALMOST done!  Hopefully after today, it will be complete.  I was amazed how many bottles it actually takes?!?!!?  I had 6 classes(around 20 in each class) create the bottles for the tower.  This week I've been having my 3rd & 4th graders create the flower shapes to fill in the gaps.  They really add a nice texture to the piece.  So this is a happy accident I'm glad happened!

  2. LOVE the chandeliers. We had talked so much about towers at the training, this is a nice twist. Did you see my 1st graders "Navajo Cylinders"?
