Ooh, color and glass and more fun in Tacoma. The Museum of Glass has a wonderful exhibit of glass sculpture that were exact representations of children's drawings. I loved it! It reminds me that play is crucial to art making. The exhibit is on until October 2011. I hope you'll go there if you haven't already been. Next time I go, I will have to buy the catalog just to read the childrens' comments about their creature creations.

Thanks for showing more of this! Wish I could take your advice and go there. Someday.
I will try, although it may be difficult with schedules. It's been a few years since I visited the MOG.
That mouse is darling! I definitely would buy one of those!
I hope you get out this way, Sam. I have a guest room and know how to use it!
Casey: it's always worth the effort to see something so special.
Joni: I loved the mouse, too. "Bacon Man" and "Pizza Dog" were bit hits, too. A show worth seeing, if you can.
