The Art of the Table


Clara,
You would love this table by Robert Therrien. It measures ten feet high, twenty feet long, and twelve feet wide.  It's the center piece for Art of the Table,
an installation show at the Milwaukee Art Museum this weekend. In conjunction with the show is a marketplace of unique gifts that I was fortunate to be part of. I put together a collection of my pewter jewelry, 70 some pieces and am happy to report lots of them have already found new owners!  We had lunch at the Calatrava Cafe in the museum, an art of the table experience in itself. We need to add that to our "to do" for your next visit.

Is there more time in the Northern Hemisphere?

Lost and Found...April 13th


R Wrote - I started this piece 14 years ago, sewed thousands of beads onto a cord and then lost interest in it. Recently I found it again and finished it with this removable bead tassle. The tassle was reconstucted from a broken necklace that sat in a bag for years as well. Lost and Found.

Clara - Polar Opposites -  I have to ask a somewhat philosophical  question.  ie R, Is there more time in the Northern Hemisphere?  I ask this in relation to your amazing creative energy and how much you fit into one day.  Of course, I know the answer, having spent time with you, sometimes 24/7. More re this dynamic on http://www.fitwithmyjeans.com/. tomorrow (G is back, has set the table and keeps coming into my office to enquire as to the progress of dinner)

Your fragrant tagine is cooking (in the oven of course),  G has harvested the last of the Basil and Rocket with Perpetual lettuce still going.  The day began happily with 'Mother of the Bride' (Me) trying on the alternative earings (too glam but that's OK with me) which have been superceded with a new set for the Bride to Be. The  word earings looks and  sounds wrong (and most likely is spelled wrongly).  What is the term today?  Ear Piece? These are very glamorous Vintage drops.

My day moved on to being a Nonna / Granny, and seeing 'Nanny McPhee', which was great, the small theatre comprising almost totally of others of the same Genre (Grannys and Grandchildren, it  being School Hols).  By the way Nanny McPhee was big on the greens.
Great days, busy, feeling useful but there remain bits and pieces in my bottom drawer which need restringing, revamping with intention etc. 
You create something of beauty  everyday and that is why I ask my question.
Love Clara
