First morning walk. I always love bridges.
View from parking lot. Just ignore the cars and enjoy the mountain.
Last year, around this time, I traveled to Golden, Colorado for Art Biz Makeover. This year, Alyson Stanfield held a similar event called Art Biz Breakthrough. I can’t begin to explain the energy in the room, a roomful of artists, for this event. Amazing! So much energy, so much encouragement, so much understanding! It was wonderful!
One of many framed posters in the hallway of the hotel. Anybody know who Roy Rogers is?

After Golden, I drove to Denver to visit a friend and go to the Denver Art Museum. Not only did I get to see the wonderful tapestry exhibit there, but I saw the Native American art in the permanent collection. I’ve been to the Denver Art Museum one other time, and it’s a really stellar museum. Go, if you get a chance. Here’s the first thing you see when the elevator doors open. This amazing sculpture is called Mud Woman Rolls On by Roxanne Swentzell. The sculpture is 10 feet high and is very striking.
Mud Woman Rolls On by Roxanne Swentzell. Very impressive and large–10 feet high!
I didn’t get the potters name, but I love this. How many different fish can you think of? Can you see something like this as a weaving?
Masks–always a favorite of mine
Blankets stacked from floor to ceiling, each tagged–pretty darn impressive!
On Monday, I wrote about weaving the Christmas tree from Mirrix Looms. I took my small Lani loom, surrounded by clothes, in my suitcase. She traveled well, and was especially welcome at night as I rested before the TV in my hotel room.
Since snow and high winds were expected in Denver for today, I changed my flight to Monday–besides, I was just ready to go home. ;))
