Thanks for the pictures!

I'd junk it up with bits of Talavera mixed with Blue Willow and some shiny, whirly things that caught my eye at the thrift store.Shirley Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734806779997587008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-85167834533578222032012-11-12T15:04:54.410-06:002012-11-12T15:04:54.410-06:00I don't think the pieces were meant to be like...I don't think the pieces were meant to be liked by everyone or even most of the visitors.

Who would clean the dog slobber off of all those windows? The human figure/spine is my favorite stand alone piece and the chairs are lots of fun!outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-37763031214342152042012-11-10T22:01:42.293-06:002012-11-10T22:01:42.293-06:00What an interesting place.

Some of the art leaves me cold, but other pieces I like quite a bit...just like a visit to a showing of modern art in a museum.
