…with silver bells and cockle shells and little maids all in a row…
Here’s what the poem generator thinks of my blog:
The shadow sculptures, They are SERIOUSLY cool.
I dream in the Squire and cockleshells,
and cockleshells, and
propped them down rivers and
after making gobs
of two images which we
got lost, we
charmed the glass I mean, this big
project in Venetian canals.
SO damn photogenic! posted by
madcoolninjas. and measurements.
the squiggles
and then
leaving tomorrow morning.
Imagine seeing this hanging over a canal in Venice. It’s a chandlier by Dale Chihuly, the emperor of glass. I saw a PBS documentary on him, and he is so so cool. He did this big project in Finland, and after making gobs of gorgeous glass, he and his team floated them down rivers and propped them up against Stonehenge and floated them away in Venetian canals. SO incredibly beautiful.
We went to Pennsylvania. There were a lot of our relatives. Luckily, there was also cake.
Check out some of these movies of Shigeo Fukuda’s sculptures. They are SERIOUSLY cool. I especially recommend the shadow sculptures, in which a spotlight reveals that seemingly disorganized blobs of cutlery cast beautiful shadow-shapes.
SERIOUSLY cool.
…and much merriness ensues. New pictures up on Flickr from the “roadtrip” to K’s interview. We sang along to our ipods on the radio, we took a left-hand highway exit, we got lost, we found the spaceship-like Phoenix main library, we rode the glass elevators, we met Rosie, we ate Pizookie, we charmed the waitress, and, as always, K looked incredible in all the pictures. The girl is just so damn photogenic!
I’m going to lunch with Ch. today, and then he’s leaving tomorrow morning. When will he be back? Oh, I dunno, DECEMBER.
Whatever.
IN other news: Cl. and I are almost done cataloging the pots here at home, and I may be heading to Scottsdale today with K and Cl to keep K company on her drive to her scholarship interview. Yay for out of the house!
I took this with the Elph, sitting in the very chair in which I now sit. It’s purty, especially bigger. Hee. I like it.
Here we are, the squire and I, basking in the glow of the new gelateria. Sugar makes us so pretty! The mysterious squiggly action is the strange result of “night snapshot” mode on my new camera. I think it’s a composite of two images and it takes the background first slowly (hence the squiggles) and then the foreground fast (hence our faces, in reasonable focus and non-squiggly). But that’s just a theory. Anywhoo, we’re looking pretty fine.
I mean, this is definitely not a long term clothing investment.
…I am eating chocolate mousse.
I thought you should know.
