Today I went to work at the museum a few hours early to attend a curator tour of a new exhibit entitled European Design. The exhibit opens this Saturday and it’s worth a trip. Very MOMA.
Anyway…on my days at the museum I usually take along a project to work on when things get slow. I saw this project on Rebecca Sower's blog last week and had to give it a try. I used what I had on hand…
After the curator tour I had a free hour, so I grabbed a banana nut muffin and a coffee…
headed to the 4th floor…modern art…
sat down on a white leather sofa next to one of my favorite pieces…
made out of thousands of strips of metal bands from liquor bottles…
started to crochet…
and 30 minutes later I had this…
a 10 strand bracelet! As I was working on this, a group of High School Art teachers was taking a tour of the gallery and they all stopped to see what I was doing. After I explained it to them (and gave them Rebecca’s blog info), they all said “we’re doing this! Thanks Rebecca for the inspiration…I’m passing it on!!
