Yesterday morning,
I took a seat in the quiet car
and finished stitching the cover edges of my being present notebook.
The train's movement had me wondering...
what it would be like to record my presence during the ride.
Once in Philly and nicely settled into my hotel room, I began to walk. First to Tria to quiet the rumblings of my hungry tummy
and then to Liao Collection
to quiet the rumblings of my soul.
There's a corner of this most wondrous place - calling it a store just doesn't seem right - that I could happily and contentedly exist in. This door is part of that space.
For my classmates in Tactile Notebooks, this is Sandra's friend's place. Click here to see the post about my 2012 visit during FiberPhiladelphia.
With the rumblings satisfied, I resumed walking.

This time to Snyderman Gallery to see the paintings of Graceann Warn.

My wandering took me to the Wexler Gallery where these beauties were. David Trubridge's Baskets of Knowledge, Kete Aonui (left) and Kete Tuauri, 2009.

Kete Tuauri - aluminum with rivets, shrouds hand sanded PETG plastic.

That's probably more photos than needed...or wanted?...but I just couldn't resist.
Mind still realing from Trubridge's magnificent light sculptures, I managed to stumble over to Farmacia at my reserved time.
A Prosecco with rose essence and berries was most restorative. In case you're wondering...yes, my vacations do tend to center around art and food. Both nourish and satisfy my soul. And that is a good thing, wouldn't you say?
