from Navy Pier

I was here with National Student Leadership Conference on the fourth of July.

also, the principles of design were everywhere.

I've worked with glass once before in an art class, and it was so difficult to control. It raises my admiration immensely for this detailed rendering.

patience much?

these two were my favorite. my friends and i studied them for the longest time, because the skies were only one piece of glass. i don't know how they were made, but they were absolutely breathtaking.

i've found some interesting sites!
