A Simple Mosaic

This simple mosaic design does not begin to convey the wealth and complexity of mosaic murals scattered throughout the city of Philadelphia but I like its simplicity and off-centeredness.

Show Setup/American Visionary Museum

Yesterday was a travel day with my boss to Baltimore, Maryland for the American Craft Council Show. Today was setup. Here's a not very glamorous behind the scenes view of the dock area and the contents of our truck which needed unloading.

A must-see if you are ever in Baltimore, is the American Visionary Art Museum. We planned our day well and spent a good part of it there. We especially liked the exhibit of mechanical toys and automata. Paul Spooner was a favorite. Here's a page that shows one of his creations in action. To learn about other mechanical sculpture artists and see more figures in action, visit the Cabaret mechanical Theatre site.
