Tools of the crop art trade!
The bird is the canvas & I hope we all know what a brush is. The midge podge serves as both an adhesive and a sealant. The polyurethane is a sealant.

Thank you Marta Shore for talking to me about crop art & bringing props!

To get footage that wasn't unusably boring I had to hum Soda Pop at the start of every take. It was the only way to get a smile & some movement.

I don't know what they put in that song but if we could sprinkle some on our exhibits we'd be golden!

To crop art or not to crop art? This art form relies on edible things & GLAMS usually don't like that.

How's @artsmia.bsky.social displaying the State Fair's crop art in "Cream of the Crop: A Minnesotan Folk Art Showcase"? Subscribe to The Weekly Tea to find out bit.ly/3JTJ2TK

Question for everyone at DragonCon, did you see the vendor who was kicked out for selling AI creations? Are you one of the officials who made the decision to boot them?

If so, I would love to talk to you, comment below or slide into our messages.

Does anyone know which Princess Kay or court member held onto their butter sculpture the longest? More importantly, how long did they keep it for?

As a Minnesotan I need answers! I mean gallery, library, archive, & museum professionals have serious preservation questions.

What’s a surprise you recently found in your collection?
Just removed the date label from an old book and discovered that someone has drawn a design for a teapot that can serve either tea or poison how's your day going?
