The creative process and energy of Dale Chihuly are vividly documented in Chihuly's " The Icicle Creek Chandelier." The book chronicles the remarkable story of how, in the time from Thanksgiving to Christmas 1996, Chihuly's most startling and challenging outdoor installation took form at the eco-friendly Sleeping Lady Retreat and Conference Center in Leavenworth, Washington. Documented by myriad voice-mail messages from Chihuly, this is the most intimate and revealing account of his creativity and working methods to date.
