Description When I started this I wanted a long piece with a chair and jellyfish. I started looking up chandeliers because I needed something to occupy the top space, then I found one that reminded me of a jellyfish and yet still worked with the chair.

Silly jellyfish. They should know that it's the seat, not the back that needs to be long in order to properly rest their legs.

It's a wonderfully surreal piece, and watercolour seems completely right for it.

Thanks, I enjoyed doing it. They actually have it hanging up as part of a student display for orientation.

Ooh, I saw this on your blog already. Jellyfish are so cool! Too bad they're such mean little things, though.

I just had a thought.... Someday, somebody should make wind chimes shaped like a jellyfish.

What's cool is that at the Newport Aquarium (local big aquarium surrounded by lots of trendy stores) in the jellyfish exhibit, they have a big chandelier designed to look like a swarm of jellyfish. I think I like this room better, though, since the Jellyfish are directly in it.

Glad you like it. I didn't want it to feel underwater, I was thinking like they were air jellyfish... which could be scary now that I think of it.

centuryslayer In reply to reed682 [2008-07-30 03:06:14 +0000 UTC]

yeah, floaty jellyfish is so much cooler than ordinary, albeit less scary jelly fish

reed682 In reply to centuryslayer [2008-07-30 05:11:44 +0000 UTC]

so you'd trade the coolness for the price of jellyfish bobbing around on land stinging people on bycycles and those that walk?

Nice work, it's very creative and I love the how the jellyfish are just floating about the room. It has a surreal quality that makes it an interesting piece to see.
