Hitting the block prints we saw Ken Swanson, headed to Wendy Hill's booth and after a bit of discussion, picked up "My Backyard is a Rainforest" by Marvin Hill- a piece that reminds us of the wilds of nature- but it is a bit spooky with pairs of eyes peaking from under the foliage.
We also picked up a really cool salt shaker- we played with them so long that we just had to get one. The gentleman told us that the design was Chinese originally- and a fascinating design it is. I can't wait to use it. As the heat kept building, we headed to the Art Fair off the Square and made a circle Visiting all of our old favorites, and keeping in mind the new ones.
For a spot of lunch we stopped at the Queen Anne's Catering booth. After our sandwiches and a brief respite under the trees we picked up a cool smoothy and finished the last half of the square. Here we found mechanical creations transporting marbles, Zover's amazing mosaics (his wife works for Industrial Engineering department and helped me choose my classes to get my second masters- Lisa is wonderful), beautiful turned wooden bowls (one artist told me that the black lines- spalding- that I like so much in the light woods is actually where bacteria has gotten into the wood and started having lunch- their creations are truly impressive- I really want to learn the technique- just need a woodshed), and so many wonderful creations that my head was spinning by the end of it all.
At the end, we happily went home to our A/C apartment to enjoy the cool air and reminisced about the sites of the day.
