Toledo Museum of Glass Art Pavilion

Last week my husband and I attended the Dale Chihuly exhibit in Toledo. In a separate room was this single exhibit. As I stood closer to examine the satin glass "gown", a docent explained the beautiful work of art. It is truly amazing to see the delicate soft folds in draping of the bodice as well as the gathers of the skirt. A rose which was perfectly formed was at the waist attached to the bodice. Interesting was the fact that the artist made a "wax body" to fit inside the gown. Click on the photo to enlarge. This is a beautiful piece of art!
