He is one of my all-favorite artists. The Bellagio hotel has several pieces of his, including this centerpiece exhibit that was commissioned in 1998 just for the hotel. It consists of 2,000 pieces and weighs 40,000 lbs.<br /><br /><br />"Steve Wynn started talking to me about the ceiling at the Bellagio long before construction even began. He wanted me to make a “spectacular” piece in the lobby of the hotel that would rival the aquarium at the Mirage, and generate more interest. Back in Seattle, we built the entire seventy-by-thirty-foot ceiling, full-scale, at my studio. The commission, as contracted, called for a whole new armature type and about a thousand new “flowers.” Steve visited several times, loved it, and wanted even more glass. Finally FIORI DI COMO was installed with over two thousand handblown glass elements. <br /> — Chihuly "<br clear="all" />Mickeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01514192895071769040noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023115364832053584.post-58961602143940102292009-03-07T16:24:00.001-08:002009-03-07T16:24:41.107-08:00FAO Schwartz Vegas<div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mottjw/1912169925/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2345/1912169925_fa814062e4_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mottjw/1912169925/">DSC_0364</a><br />Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/mottjw/">firebird68us</a></span></div>We stopped in the FAO Schwartz at Ceasar's Palace.

MMMmmmm! So far I have had Pistachio, Amaretto and Dulce de Leche. I think the amaretto was my fav. I did sample the Bannanas Foster, which was divine as well. Good thing they sell it in tiny little cups.<br clear="all" />Mickeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01514192895071769040noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023115364832053584.post-19640533570737645252009-02-23T09:29:00.001-08:002009-02-23T09:29:23.010-08:00Vintage Wallpaper Ad<div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/heather-d/2097241870/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2242/2097241870_4096158a48_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/heather-d/2097241870/">Vintage Wallpaper Ad</a><br />Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/heather-d/">Heather-D</a></span></div>I have been doing some serious drooling over vintage wallpapers lately.

I have been trying to decide what kinds of things I would like to start including and the direction I want my blog to grow. I love tutorials. I am always trying a new medium or technique and I am going to start highlighting my favorites every Thursday. <br /><br />I am also completely crazy for fabric! I mean, isn't everyone? I am sure I will never have enough or a good enough way to store all that "treasure" that I just can't live without. So I am searching for new and creative ways to store or stay organized in my studio. Having said that, I will start highlighting those great ideas on Sunday.<br /><br />Mickey</span>Mickeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01514192895071769040noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023115364832053584.post-56770858297755307492008-11-16T11:43:00.000-08:002008-12-03T11:53:29.518-08:00Babies....<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1JeVyqy7A4t1MBGBrs9_c6kia2syEY5tPZwfRw-ljBH93pB1jKivhlQMDBP_0da23AsiwMSMgKFOwpV6AJk3zMQmw5KjNnitdcQB5VG9LztUZ6OZfXlBuhoGz7R4jtGYr5YgokK4bAIgh/s1600-h/day22.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 149px; height: 208px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1JeVyqy7A4t1MBGBrs9_c6kia2syEY5tPZwfRw-ljBH93pB1jKivhlQMDBP_0da23AsiwMSMgKFOwpV6AJk3zMQmw5KjNnitdcQB5VG9LztUZ6OZfXlBuhoGz7R4jtGYr5YgokK4bAIgh/s400/day22.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275654359043044306" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHf1wTHkuwFQZ0ZKXzhiDAxpGmck86wyvb2BOr7Rz4m7CMqlGmhi7YhjkMiBF0lD53w9Ju31MTV1uMH8TASsGe48l_uUmCwpmZ3mZ_XwNOo4SthjXTYOjnL94jQv_F62yM8PXrISu8ujKO/s1600-h/IMG_4088.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHf1wTHkuwFQZ0ZKXzhiDAxpGmck86wyvb2BOr7Rz4m7CMqlGmhi7YhjkMiBF0lD53w9Ju31MTV1uMH8TASsGe48l_uUmCwpmZ3mZ_XwNOo4SthjXTYOjnL94jQv_F62yM8PXrISu8ujKO/s400/IMG_4088.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275653450328607026" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-KgVdaA8haspmIaKnLCuj1OyUUfPmQs8TsOC8GzCV2BCNyMC546KwjcXNXBZ2-ovE-Lc3lZ2BIbMeXo8QLbS1N4Ydwf7EeDh4umg4P6JgcS4njIWzWj89tZTvI5ifBjiRrg4rhG8_rxC-/s1600-h/IMG_4089.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-KgVdaA8haspmIaKnLCuj1OyUUfPmQs8TsOC8GzCV2BCNyMC546KwjcXNXBZ2-ovE-Lc3lZ2BIbMeXo8QLbS1N4Ydwf7EeDh4umg4P6JgcS4njIWzWj89tZTvI5ifBjiRrg4rhG8_rxC-/s400/IMG_4089.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275653242264353970" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL-5QDs9UplSdM13wPfQ1UjvLL0s1WZXeAzzMHrTWj0yVLPbnsKertMXDGcs0yvK5Hz99cv7wcs_TSFHsxIowdsSRwg72xvyKqlhrnf1tREYHnKJuKkOCYvvDcccajk-feSjx-Zu5SYgaN/s1600-h/IMG_4087.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL-5QDs9UplSdM13wPfQ1UjvLL0s1WZXeAzzMHrTWj0yVLPbnsKertMXDGcs0yvK5Hz99cv7wcs_TSFHsxIowdsSRwg72xvyKqlhrnf1tREYHnKJuKkOCYvvDcccajk-feSjx-Zu5SYgaN/s400/IMG_4087.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275653066836581442" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;">I am a firm believer in the idea that every child is a gift from God. And I think that it is only right to honor that arrival with a party! So I hosted a baby shower for my girlfriend Suzanne. I don't often entertain in my home, primarily due to the other 10 people who live here! But, this is a special time. Suzanne is expecting her 6th baby, but she also has one adopted daughter and two foster children. It was so much fun and the house (for one brief moment) looked great! </span><br /></div>Mickeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01514192895071769040noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023115364832053584.post-18223115124135152562008-11-11T22:37:00.000-08:002008-11-11T22:44:22.890-08:00Tip Junkie!

So after school, I kept their son, while they ran home, fed their kids and then drove all the way back up to Guthrie, for their daughter's basketball practice.<br /><br />Sometimes, it's just nice to get a minute to catch our breath!</span>Mickeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01514192895071769040noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023115364832053584.post-40189742391714862012008-11-04T11:24:00.000-08:002008-12-03T11:33:56.298-08:00Rock the Vote!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifYLdUMchry1SPzIAMjstsej1pV9seYcRhyphenhyphenPhY1p-T4cblr8G3VQx4o1vFM0KCb2W8oe6LkrQadpdW9KF2ndSERRMpNSHCkkLTkRcmBTFkJEaTd-no3wdsne0o8MCoVcN3pG-U3GG5yQd-/s1600-h/3002776434_643d076694.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifYLdUMchry1SPzIAMjstsej1pV9seYcRhyphenhyphenPhY1p-T4cblr8G3VQx4o1vFM0KCb2W8oe6LkrQadpdW9KF2ndSERRMpNSHCkkLTkRcmBTFkJEaTd-no3wdsne0o8MCoVcN3pG-U3GG5yQd-/s400/3002776434_643d076694.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275648855954270322" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:180%;"><br />We are so blessed to live in a country and a time in history, where our opinion matters!
