| Last week I took the Larkspur Ferry with some friends to Marin to see an Altered Book Show at the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art...an annual tradition. |
 |
| With a Peets coffee in hand and a view of the Golden Gate Bridge it was a great start to the day... |
 |
| When I got to the show, I had to laugh, because it sure looked a lot like my studio.... |
 |
| At the show... |
 |
| See? This is my studio....... |
 |
| I really liked this piece and... |
 |
| I found the description quite touching....worked on in a hospital waiting room....I have spent some time in hospital waiting rooms and the last thing I could do was make any art. I think it is very impressive and inspiring that this artist could. |
 |
| Another piece I liked... |
 |
| I got to attend the show with one of the artists, bottom right is the very cool work of Punkie Ebert. She wrapped some poems around those spools.... |
 |
| Just bits that caught my eye.... |
 |
| You KNOW I have lots of books that book like these.... |
 |
| My studio |
 |
| And, of course, there was lunch. A wonderful group of six artists and I'd love to put a photo of us all but I know they would kill me so.....here is what I had for lunch. Blackened salmon salad....delicious. |
 |
| And, Barcode Barb brought little handmade presents for us all -- vintage matchbooks with her charming drawings inside. Aren't they cool? |
 |
| The view on the ride back to San Francisco wasn't bad either....every time I take the ferry I wonder why I don't take it more often......good question.. |
 |
| Well, it is Memorial Day Weekend coming up here in the USA. What are you all doing to celebrate. It is the official start of summer but here in chilly, foggy, windy SF, I may have to have a nice gin & tonic by the fireplace. I can live with that. I'm thinking a movie and dinner date with my guy, some work in the studio, the farmers market....things along those lines. What is everyone else planning on doing? SEND GOOD MAIL -- GET GOOD MAIL |
