They look like glass snakes. Yikes!!!
Winding and winding around.
So delicate yet so strong. John made us look for the one clear glass snake in this piece and we all managed to find it.
This is the end of part three. I have many more pictures so stay tuned for part four and beyond.

I love these pics..if you ever get a chance to see Mary A.'s exhibit of her quilts based on Chihuly, you must go! Her work is amazing and represents his work beautifully.
