Funnel Tunnel…
If you are an art enthusiast and have a curious mind like I do, you HAVE to check out Houston’s…Funnel Tunnel!
I asked my oldest daughter to take me to see this beauty when we arrived in Houston…I just squealed when we pulled up to it! Loved it.
Located on Montrose Boulevard, just outside the Art League of Houston.
This tie-dyed structure took more than a week to complete with a very large group of volunteers.
Patrick Rennner, the artist of this steel and wood structure (he reports the wood is from a turn of the century cotton gin.)
The tunnel stretches out to 180 feet…how fun is that?!
If you’re in the Houston area, it will be here for your viewing pleasure until May, 2014.
Have a great week.

THe first picture immediately reminded me of my sons elastic ball that he has been making(he is 17 years old).
You have captured, what looks like a dragon, and put it on display for all to see.
THANKS

Amazing – very well captured… 🙂
I guess “it” doesn’t eat the trees… 🙂 😉
Some creativity goes beyond the limit and this is certainly one of them…It’s not only amazing in shape but beautiful in color….Such a fun piece of art….
Wow how awesome is this. I would so love to have lunch outside by this everyday – it would definitely lift my spirits!
Interesting art piece. At a glance – I thought that it was yarn.
Wow – how cool is that. It reminds me of the balls we used to make out of colored rubber bands.
What an amazing structure! From far away, it looks like colored rubber bands… I’d bet Little Man would love to crawl around in there if he could 🙂
That looks so great! I love huge art installations when they are placed throughout the city.
Wow! That’s amazing…such patience, vision and staying power at play here! Thank you for sharing this.
That’s pretty darn cool! 🙂
What a photographer’s delight. Thanks for sharing this work of art!! Brilliant!!
This is truly an amazing work of art! So happy you shared it.
Wow! That looks fun! Really, only a week to put together? Amazing what you can do when you set your mind to it.
WOW. You know it makes me want to grab a burlap sack and take a slide ride through it!
Jenny, that is too good…how fun would that be?
I love that this was made by volunteers. It’s wonderful. We need more of this type of public art.

You are such a kid at heart! I so love that about you Laurie. I would have been just as excited to see this structure. 🙂

I believe we would. 🙂
This is SO cool!! You photographed it perfectly.
Thank you Kelly!
How fun and creative!
Now, that is fun! Love all of the happy colors!

What a fabulous sculpture!! I, too, am surprised that installation was accomplished in a week! http://ohtheplaceswesee.com
this is great fun 🙂 I loved it. Thank you, love, nia
That is a cool piece of art. It reminds me of a piece around here (I think it was made from the same concept of material) but here is a big giant dragon.
Art just makes you feel all good inside…doesn’t it?
It’s an awesome creation. I am surprised that it only took a week to put together.
