| Some days it is just fun to walk around in the beautiful sunshine and look at art. |
 |
| Saturday started out with a trip to the farmer's market - those beautiful huge piles of asparagus, artichokes, garlic chives and all sorts of produce are art in themselves. Then, a trip to one of my favorite SF spots San Francisco Center for the Book to see the fabulous Hedi Kyle show. It's up till July 17, 2016 and if you live anywhere near SF you have GOT to see it. |
 |
| Here are some photos to tempt you into going -- or, as a consolation if you are too far away to attend. And, you can call or email the SFCB and order a catalog of the show too -- tell Nina I sent you. |
 |
| While I admire and love the beautiful books in the display cases, my personal favorites were the touchable books. You can just sit on the couch and look through a number of little books that it seems she just carried with her and filled up with day-to-day stuff. So cool.... |

| The Touchable Books |
 |
| Supermarket fruit stickers never looked so good... |
 |
| My personal favorite was the tea bag tag book......Dori S, I thought of you, my tea-loving friend... Take a look at Monica's Artful ReCrafter blog (on my sidebar) -- she went to the Hedi Kyle opening and posted photos on her blog too. |
 |
| You can't have an art day without having lunch... |
 |
| After the morning looking at Hedi Kyle's work, we spent the afternoon at the Hunter's Point Shipyard Open Studio |
 |
| I think I love looking at the artist tools as much as I enjoy looking at the art... |
 |
| It is such fun to wander all around a big building filled with artists and art and fantastic views out the windows of the SF Bay... |
 |
| Go, if you can, and have a look around..... |

| Hedi Kyle (detail) The best part of a day like this is that feeling you are all filled up with art and want to rush home or to your own studio and make things! I sure have that feeling. I am inspired and ready to go to work. But I just found out the Vintage Paper fair is also this weekend -- how could I possibly have not known that? Hummmmmmm........ Should I stay in and make things? Or go browse the VPF? (I really do have more than enough paper to work with). Sometimes there are just too many fun things to do!
