Paper Art!

One of the best things about visiting San Francisco and Berkeley in particular is the exposure to new and interesting art.

When walking through the art program area in UC Berkeley art area I spotted these interesting pieces.

I found all these interesting art pieces provide different appearances. They were all made out of paper pieces. I guess you can call these recycle-able art.

I like these pieces. Each one has a very different appearance than anything else i have seen.

In addition to the paper work, we interviewed the Egyptian research museum on campus at UC Berkeley.

The work there is also very interesting.

I talked with a person there who was putting together a facial mask from an egyptian mask. It had been originally put together with fiber material. The ancient linen material was falling apart and being put together with materials that will hold it together. I had a really nice chat with the worker there.

Traveling and Learning

I can't believe it, but today we found an old wooden covered bridge. The bridge is still in use. We drove over it and ate at the diner we found on the other side of the bridge. We had a great breakfast there! Then we went to a another small town over near the place we are staying.

At the small town called Millerton we found a person blowing glass. It's called Gilmar glass. We watched them blow glass and talked to them about the process. They were making glass pumpkins while they were blowing the glass.

We ordered a pumpkin and got to choose our color and watch the whole process. This picture is the glassblower working on our glass pumpkin.

We also found a place selling knitting

materials. She had some beautiful bamboo material. She was also having a sale! I bought so much of her bamboo material that she sold the bamboo at 50% off!!! What a deal!

We found a place with really great tea for sale. We will have to come back tomorrow with our son so he can pick his favorite.

We ate lunch at the diner in Millerton.

It clearly has been a fun vacation getting ready for the wedding tomorrow. We are certainly getting ready for the event tomorrow!

The Tallis for the Lonia and Eitan wedding!

It's time to get ready for the wedding!!

Watch for this tallis. Eitan will be wearing it when he is married.

I am so honored that they are willing to accept my work on this beautiful tallis and the chuppah under which they will be married. It was very quite an exciting process. I'll have more pictures once the wedding done!
