Chihuly’s Emerald Spire

An early weekend type post.

For the 2 readers outside of Seattle, Sounders FC is our new MLS team. They are playing well and captured a local buzz. Games are packed. Nice traditions are being established. Great for the team and Seattle. I was even fortunate enough to attend the inaugural game. The team has a couple of friendly matches with Barcelona PC and Chelsea and has teamed with glass artist Dale Chihuly and his team for commemorative artwork. Very cool.

I have been blowing glass as a hobby for just over 3 years. The glass community is fairly tight and close knit. I know a few people on Chihuly’s team and they are a very talented bunch. I am a neophyte in comparison.
