Last Wednesday, daffodils bloomed both outside and in the Chrysler Museum of Art. Vibram Five Fingers Kso outdoor blossoms festooned the entrance. The indoor ones glowed on century-old, leaded-glass lampshades designed by Tiffany Studios that are on display in a new exhibition. Composing a three-dimensional flower in flat glass isn't easy. But the "Tiffany girls" assigned Men's Vibram Five Fingers Treksport Red Black Shoes floral-pattern lampshades found ways to bring their interpretations to life -- and light. Glass selection was critical, since the right piece of studio-made glass could suggest the characteristics of flowers, from color to texture. Kelly Conway, the museum's curator of glass, examined the golden daffodils on one of the lamps. "See how Men's Vibram Five Fingers KSO TrekSport Grey With Royal Blue used a darker glass inside the trumpet? It adds depth," she said. Conway toured the show that day just as "Tiffany Lamps: Articles of Utility, Objects of Art" opened to the public. The 40 or so leaded-glass shades with bases come from the New York City-based Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass, which organized the show. She might have been strolling through a spring garden, passing peachy peonies and floppy red poppies, with Women's Vibram Five Fingers KSO TrekSport Grey With light Blue dragon-flies zipping through. "If I had to take one home, it would be that one," Conway said, staring up at a large dragon-fly hanging shade. Unlike the famous dragon-fly table lamps that look as though the insects have just landed and will soon flutter away, this one features a dense, interlocking pattern. The creatures might be engaged in a kind of air ballet, their wings resembling flower petals. "I imagine myself lying in a field with all these dragonflies swirling overhead," Conway said. "It's very kinetic."
