La ciudad de Mexico (February visit)

A beautiful mural in a difficult location.

 We came across a courtyard full of sculptures like this. Charming, I loved them. I have no memory of the artist. Anybody recognize these?

A church interior, very peaceful even with a lot of people in it.

 So much gold. It's real, too.

Architecture against a blue sky is kind of perfect.

In the gallery at the Museum of Design. There's no collection, but rather shows of design work that change, and a nice shop.

The exhibit at the time we were there, two sisters from Buenos Aires.

Fabulous jewelry, and all for sale!

They used vintage materials for parts of their work. Very different.

I got a pair of earrings, but at the moment, I'm thinking "where are they?" I can't remember where I put the. Uh oh!

Art walk

 This isn't part of the art walk but it's art. I purchased this beautiful piece from a former student to give to a friend of mine. Here's my friend holding it. She'd been ill with a life-threatening illness, and she's well now, and I'm so happy about that.

 My honey and I went down to Broad St. tonight to check out a few of the galleries that we missed last night. We went to the new pop-up craft shop that is next to 1708 Gallery. There are tee shirts by Pop Idiot (always fun) and jewelry and more. They'll be open every weekend through December. Buy local,  in Richmond, or wherever you live.

 The window display at Quirk Gallery and shop. Fun stuff and a really nice Sparkle Plenty jewelry exhibit.

 There's a new gallery on Broad street called Candela Books and Gallery. Their first show is an exhibit of beautiful photos by Shelby Lee Adams.

 This is the glass necklace that I got at the pop-up craft shop, by Sibelle.

I met up with a few of the Happiness Coalition people who were handing out cards. I got two and passed one along to someone else. What fun. Happiness is always good. We enjoyed being out on a really nice night for a walk. Meanwhile, in another part of downtown, the illumination ceremony was taking place.

Skull Appreciation Day events.

It's not too late to enter your Mail Art into the exhibit at this event.  Get the information here.

The deadline is 27 May. Quick, do it, send something!

If you're in the area, stop by. There'll be things for kids to do, and a fun music event. Skulls will be sold to raise money for charity, a quilt will be auctioned off for another charity. Bring your own skull over to the festivities at Gallery5 in Richmond, VA, USA.  For specifics, clik HERE.

Crafty!

If you're in the Richmond, VA area this Sunday, head over to The Camel, 1621 W. Broad St. and join in the I "heart" Crafts social from 4 to 6. The Richmond Craft Mafia and Etsy street team will be there. I'm pretty excited about meeting some of the Etsy folks.

Here's my Muppy hat. I'll be posting this at, or is it on?, my Etsy shop.
