I do believe that...Venetian glass is very special! I do believe that our American entrepeneur, Chihuly, also learned glass blowing at the Venini factory in Murano. (Really love that name and wish that my geneaology searches would come up with a connection. . . loving glass as I do must be part of my DNA,don't you think?) I hope that someone will give you a Murano glass sculpture of some kind; the violin might be just the thing!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223040482420514208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558559381295017448.post-48289171283557217792014-12-17T06:33:36.326-05:002014-12-17T06:33:36.326-05:00I hope someone buys you a mask and that you will u...I hope someone buys you a mask and that you will use it when you are out trying to shoot portraits!Stefan Janssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542072508543147268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558559381295017448.post-57367474828783430352014-12-16T22:15:02.965-05:002014-12-16T22:15:02.965-05:00We got suckered into going to Murano once. It'...We got suckered into going to Murano once. It's a bit of a racket run by the glass stores, hotels and water taxi operators. Once you arrive, there is some doubt about whether you will get a ride back to Venice if you don't but something. <br /><br />The stores we were taken to were full of horrendous kitsch. Obviously, there is a better side that we didn't visit. It would make me interested in this shop.Bob Crowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08276510331824603844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558559381295017448.post-75757484343751098292014-12-16T20:44:09.441-05:002014-12-16T20:44:09.441-05:00Looks like a nice place.Looks like a nice place.Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14324315351283229508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558559381295017448.post-46645729148160500832014-12-16T19:43:53.297-05:002014-12-16T19:43:53.297-05:00"Marvelous gallery" indeed!
