I just took in a great show at the Disjecta Gallery, here in Portland, Oregon. The show is called “Constructs” and features the work of talented artists, Laura Vandenburgh, Nathan Green, and Pablo Rasgado. I found their use and appreciation of pattern and texture quite inspiring. Vandenburgh creates large, net-like structures out of cut paper that reminded me of contours on maps.
Amazing Martin Guitars
I had the pleasure of visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art this week and seeing an exhibit of early C.F. Martin guitars. The surface design on his instruments was incredible – I wish we could have heard someone playing each one!

300 Bow Ties
Bruce wore a bow tie every day to work, and as a gift, his daughter-in-law wanted to have a quilt made for him using the bulk of his amazing collection of bow ties. With the help of professional organizer, Paula Berman, she sorted, grouped, and sent me 300 bow ties for a custom-designed quilt.
