About Town, More Photographic Inspiration

These pics were all taken a few weeks prior to my previous post about Pine City.  Duluth and the surrounding area is over=flowing with art and views that make one WANT to create.  Enjoy!

This is actually on Lyndale South in Mpls
 
Love the patina of this chair.  I often believe I was born in the wrong era.

Points if you know what this is!

Carl Eller's partner kindly explained this bowl's story to me.  The piece is called "Katrina" and the firing of the piece caused "spots" of yellow and brown that evoke the idea that peoples' faces show in the stormy swirls.

A Little Photo Inspiration

On Saturday a dear friend and I took a mini road-trip to a favorite haunt of mine.  I shared with her on the way to Pine City that I haven't been feeling my writing "vibe lately, that the "scrapper" in me has been calling to me and I've been making quite a bit of progress on my PILES.

I knew she'd love the art and "more than  just scrapbooking" arty beautiful store and antiques galore.  When I dropped Tammy off at home I jokingly apologized to her hubby from bringing home a "new woman."  I believe a new scrapper has been birthed.

Better yet, we both had an inspiring day, growing our love of all things art, our friendship and meeting new people, making plans to do more.  Get out there and PLAY!
