My sister and I went to the art museum last night, where we found a representation of MOOD OF THE SEASON, 2...
[“Durga Slaying the orange monster” was the first one]…
A mask of the Yoruba people of Nigeria representing Eshu, the god of Chaos. The dancer wearing it would hit onlookers with a staff... as A Warning!
As the US Coast Guard motto says, Semper Paratus:
Always ready, be PREPARED!

Something's going on with my hair.
The other day I posted that photo of me looking like a model for a knitting magazine;
the next day, a coworker asked (as a compliment), "What have you done to your hair?";
and yesterday I saw my sister for the first time in 9 months ago, and she said,
"OMG, you look like Ali McGraw!"
I never wear Scandinavian patterns, but I liked this warm cardigan. Thrift, of course.

Also at the museum---inspiration for a print! A woven wool saddle blanket by a Hopi artist, c. 1900,
So simple, so strong!
I'm in a dash--leaving to go to work in 5 minutes, so just one more cheering thought:
The algorithm has determined that I like pithy phrases from physicists. Today it gave me:::
Love that pithy phrase!!
ReplyDeleteThe saddle blanket is lovely work..and inspiring.
Remember Ali McGraw when young?
“Love Story”!
DeleteYes..and didn't they look young, even then to us watching!
DeleteAnd perfect! 😄
DeleteHa, I was thinking of Ali McGraw too! I think it's the statement eyebrows. The saddle blanket is sort of Art Nouveau feeling? Ceci
ReplyDeleteWow, really you were?!
Deletesweater, eyebrows, Ali is in my demographic......Ceci
DeleteLove the saddle blanket. Any idea what the graphic represents?
ReplyDeleteHi, Joanne. I love it too.
DeleteIts sign didn't say anything about the image, nor was the info online, so I wrote to the museum to ask!
