  1. Craig needed an ATM on the way to the car wash, so we stopped at the midcentury modern classic BoA in downtown Palm Springs.

    PS takes its midcentury heritage very seriously (Modernism Week each year brings 100,000 visitors.)

    The 1959 Bank of America building has undergone a total renovation, and looks fabulous.

  3. "White Flower," Georgia O'Keefe, 1929.

    O'Keefe (1887-1986) is an ultra-famous painter, even today. Her studies of plants from extreme close-ups are topics of debate and conversation forty years after her death.

    Many felt, and still feel today, that her work was an exploration of female anatomy and sexuality, but O'Keefe always vehemently denied it. Her reasoning was that by studying organic forms in extreme close-up, she reduced them to studies in color, pattern, and form.

    No matter how you interpret her work, it's still worth checking out.

    Happy Flower Friday!

    From the Cleveland Museum of Art.

  6. Progress report on new #freeformcrochet project. Top of the back and both arms shown, in double knit hand-dyed merino, also chunky recycled plastic bottles and a bit of metallic/Angora. Inspiration... Georgia O'Keeffe, body parts in a grey/red palette. The rest of the yarn is a lighter 4-ply. I needed a heavier yarn for everything to hang from. Much more surface work to do on the joined scrumbles.
