The Northwest Flower and Garden Show 2015 - A Glass Act

The Pacific Northwest is a hotbed of glass art so it's no surprise that there was a lot of great glass to see at the show.  Here, glass fire pit tables from a company in Tacoma are dressed up for Valentine's Day.



Lots of people, including myself, make glass flowers from found pieces but the sheer number and fabulous style of these is impressive.







Barbara Sanderson, Glass Gardens Northwest, got into the theme of the show with her blown glass hearts.


Although she makes all kinds of truly beautiful things, my favorites are her "fiddlestix."


Totally Blown Glass, known for their exquisite vases and other vessels (some incredible colors!) is now creating these poured glass and metal garden pieces.


New to me, Island Art Glass, had some way cool creations over which to drool.








My favorite of theirs?  This one!


Although, these beautiful leaves came in a close second!


 Believe it or not, this was just the tip of the glass iceberg.  There were lots of other great creations.  If you'd like to see more, you'll simply have to make plans to visit the show next year!
I love all of this beautiful shimmering garden art and enjoy seeing it at the show each year.  What I like even more is plant vendors and I hope that the show organizers will find a way to encourage more of them to participate because their numbers seem to be dwindling and it's all about the plants, right?

Happy weekend everyone!
