It was a busy weekend. On Friday I saw that the Phoenix Art Museum got a mention in the New York Times about a spring exhibit called "Color Wear: Kaleidoscope of Fashion." It was curated to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Phoenix Art Museum's Fashion collection. I'll have a few photos to share in the coming days. On my way to see the exhibit, I passed this sort of Calder-like mobile sculpture. I discovered it was created by Tuan Andrew Nguyen from metal scraps from unexploded artillery and bomb shells salvaged in Viet Nam. If you look closely, you will see my reflection in one of those discs.
Fashion exhibit was also worth seeing and as I said above, I'll have a few more photos from it to share in the future. For today I'm just featuring this Salvatore Ferragamo shoe-print silk scarf, It features images of some of Ferragamo's shoe designs over the years.
On Saturday morning I was at the Heard Museum for another Artful Mornings lecture and Saturday evening I attended the opera with a group of five other friends. We saw "La Cenerentola" which translates to "Cinderella" in English. The story was not quite the same with a nasty step-father instead of a step-mother and no fairy godmother. The opera is very amusing prompting lots of audience laughter.
On Sunday, I rested up! Phew!

You lead a busy life, Sharon. I like that scarf.
The sculpture is interesting, particularly considering the source of the metal. The shoe scarf is terrific!
