On Saturday, we visited the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington. One of my favorite pieces was "Coyote in Socks", shown above.

The talented Hot Shop team at the Museum created this sculpture based on a sketch from 9-year old Marion Emme. Here is her drawing. She writes, "Coyotes are close to my house and I like thinking of them with rainbow socks."



Rainbow socks! I love it!

We watched the Hot Shop team in action as they turned a chunk of molten glass into a beautiful piece of art. Here is a picture of them at work:

Outside, there is a pedestrian bridge filled with stunning pieces by Tacoma-born, master glass sculptor, Dale Chihuly. Here are a few pieces:

This is a wonderful museum which I highly recommend visiting if you are ever in the Tacoma/Seattle area.
