Our good-byes include the memories of the Washington's DC Commission on the Arts public art project: Pandamania .
The Washington Glass School's entry was Bling-Bling - a glass covered panda. Glass school students and resident artists cast unusual elements for the artwork, including a cub scout cap, a mouse whispering into the ear, a heart tattoo, a fish, and faces are among the over 7,000 pieces of recycled glass.
l-r Lisa Frieda, Justine Light and Kay Janis work on the panda.
The panda is ready to roll to its location in front of the Corcoran Gallery of Art.
Erwin Timmers & Kerri Sheehan celebrate the panda's delivery.
Covered in cast recycled float glass and sporting dichroic glass jewelry.
The Capitol Hill newspaper Voice of the Hill called the panda a "dazzling concoction of shimmering glass"

While it's sad to see them go hopefully they will be successful at breeding.
