Great article by my colleague Daniel J. Sherman, who isn't mentioned at any point in this thread.
us.theconversation.com The Conversation U.S. @us.theconversation.com · 14d
In 1920s France, an archeological dig became front-page news.

After farmers in the village of Glozel unearthed unusual artifacts, an archaeologist began excavations, revealing pottery with alphabet-like symbols that seemed far too advanced for the site’s age.

But was it a hoax?

Saw this new @nccourage.com merch and accepted the craft challenge. Cross stitch, southernness, and soccer. Cross stitch by me. Let’s go Courage!

The original NC Courage printed cross stitch t-shirt and me wearing the one I cross stitched on.

Yep, the system is entirely broken. 400 errors and then booted out of the system for unusual activity.

Anyone else get past the wait clock to enter the Visa Presale Draw and then get a 400 error when submitting their first step of registration? Help! #FIFA

Considering getting this passage from the NYT article printed on totes for our art history majors. Too much?
Among college graduates ages 22 to 27, computer science and computer engineering majors are facing some of the highest unemployment rates, 6.1 percent and 7.5 percent respectively, according to a report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. That is more than double the unemployment rate among recent biology and art history graduates, which is just 3 percent.

On the east bank of the Rhone in Lyon stands the Tony Bertand Aquatic center, built in 1965 to designs by Alexandre Audouze-Tabourin. An Olympic folly, complete with 4 enormous “torch” towers, part of mayor Louis Pradel’s quest to being the 1968 Summer Games to the city (Mexico City got the bid).
On the far bank of a river stands a concrete complex consisting of 2 Olympic-size swimming pools with four torchiere towers and a shade porch in the center. The 4 “Olympic torch” towers in white painted concrete along the river Rhone. Two of the torch towers flanking a triangular projecting shade area at the center of the pool complex.

I only had to land in Lyon to immediately see the structurally flamboyant work of Santiago Calatrava in the Lyon-Saint Exupery Airport Station (1994). Very insect-like. And the bollards were all gabion cages. Looking forward to more new-to-me architecture!
Concrete and glass architecture with two “wings” supported by steel beams. Looks like a side of a massive butterfly. Concrete and glass architecture with two “wings” supported by steel beams. Looks like a massive butterly. Slightly more head on view with a suspended pedestrian bridge coming out the back (so maybe more like a dragonfly). Underside of the concrete arches suspended over the train shed of the station. Like a spine and rib cage. Gabion cage bollards. Steel mesh filled with re-used construction debris, strong and sustainable.

My sisters and I spent countless hours in fabric stores, going through the big pattern books to choose a dress or other item and then going to the big drawers to find that pattern in the right size.

If you want an exhibition that will make you gasp, go see “Radical Clay: Contemporary Women Artists from Japan” at the @ackland_art_museum

40 pieces are stunning and play with tradition and contemporary art and craft practice. Open through August.

Making the most of a rainy holiday to put up my new bathroom mirror. The light fixture went up two weeks ago, but the wall had to be spackled and painted first. I kept a piece of the original 1969 woven wallpaper.
Bathroom with a new mirror and two-lamp light fixture, to go with the mid-mod blue sink and soap rests. New mirror and light fixture next to the translucent glass wall cabinet. Old light fixture/medicine cabinet which was rusting inside. Framed piece of the original woven multicolor striped wallpaper from 1969 that was behind the medicine cabinet. Stripes are white, yellow, green, and blue.

Finished! FLW meets Finley Fabric’s Looking Glass (pattern by Laura Vehige). March balloon accent pieces on the front repeated larger in the backing. Pieced and bound by me and longarmed by Carrie Hauser of Lovebug Longarming. Fabrics by Cloud9 based on Wright’s designs.

Folded quilt with bright multi-colored blocks arranged like four-pane windows with white sashing, a pale blue and gray backing, on a gold sofa. Detail of the quilt showing the bubble circular quilting all over the surface, echoing the circles in the smaller square accent blocks. Quilt backing in pale blue and gray based on Frank Lloyd Wright’s March Balloons.
