We have long been fans of Dale Chihuly (www.chihuly.com), and have seen many of his works in museums. Years ago you could actually find an example in the museum shops at a relatively reasonable price. Alas, his work is no longer in the casual purchase category.
So in a delightful piece of serendipity, I was preheating the oven before putting in a pan of chicken for roasting, and noticed a strange smell. I had been temporarily storing a plastic container of Trader Joe's Dunkers cookies in the oven, and it had been pushed far back out of sight. When I retrieved it, I saw that the heat had made the edges opalescent, and formed the container and lid into what resemble one of Chihuly's shell form pieces. Art is where you find it.
