Rainbow Connection

I donned all the Rainbow Things:
And went over to bG Gallery to hear a talk by Lynn Segerblom aka Faerie Argyle Rainbow, the woman involved with the creation of the original Rainbow Flags flown for the 1978 Gay Freedom Day Parade in San Francisco.
Lynn doing a mock [waterless] dying demo. Prints of her paintings are on the right wall.
Explaining how she dyed the stars.
Small mockup.
This photo from 1978 shows the scale of the flags -- 30 x 60 feet.
They flew for just one day for the parade.
Lynn's Star Flag (on left) was stolen in 1979 and has never been seen since.
Link to an LA Times article from 2018.

The rainbow theme is carried throughout bG Gallery, with the sixth annual Spectrum Gestalt exhibition, up until July 6, 2019. The salon-style group show of 80 artists has the art arranged chromatically. View the artworks here.

What I Did On My Summer Vacation

Remember doing those summer vacation reports in grade school? Me neither.

I'm doing this more for me than for you. I'll be writing more detailed posts on my various blogs. This is functioning as my Table of Contents and link center (adding links as posts are written). You're welcome to come along for the ride!

LAX - BOS
I mended (until I dropped my seam ripper under my seat) and sketched.

Getting from Boston to Providence was an adventure. More on that later.

Providence
A short and wonderful visit with Patucci and Mark, including perusing the Repair and Design Futures at the RISD Museum [museum link] (closes 6/30/19)
My long post about it link.
A few tense moments chasing the box of art, which I picked up at the Post Office as I was leaving town:

Vermont
Rendezvoused with Annie at her sweet cabin.
Finished customizing the tiaras for our 45th high school reunion parade.
Covered a random princess (on Annie) and Hello Kitty (on me) with our school's founder, Emma Willard
Got the art out of the box and affixed to foam core for display at the reunion.
More on the art on the On the Edge blog.
Troy, NY
As mentioned, 45th reunion. A small, yet mighty gathering of the class of '74
Ready for the Parade of Classes [photo by Liz Westbrook '75]
Severo showed up Saturday night and he joined us for the Class Dinner:


Barneveld, NY
A few days at Mom's, plus museum visits.
Meetup with Shelbee and Sons at The Adirondack Experience!
Writeup link here.
Tiffany exhibit at the Munson Williams Proctor Institute (through September 8, 2019)
It seemed that every time we were in transit, it rained. The drive from Barneveld to Newark was especially harrowing -- Severo almost hit a deer on US17, a six lane highway.

NYC
William Greenberg Desserts, the Met, shopping -- an ideal day in the city.

Met Camp exhibition (through September 8, 2019) for her:
Richard Quinn AW18-19
Met Play It Loud exhibition (through October 1, 2019) for him:

The Fluevog Dress Visits Fluevog Manhattan

I just returned home from a wonderful two week trip East.
Many, many different meetups and museums -- eventually I hope to write about them all.

Today, it's all about The Dress and its debut at Fluevog Manhattan:
Photo by Paul, who sent it to John Fluevog, who responded: "Does she do those drawings herself?"
I posed with the Investigator, as it's one of the styles sketched in the repeat.
From the 2017 Fluevog Sketch series. See the entire set on Pattern Recognition
To commemorate this auspicious occasion, I (finally) made an individual Investigator sketch that's available on Redbubble (I get a commission for purchases):
Fluevog website Investigator link
In addition, I wore The Dress yesterday to an event that I chauffeured Ruth to in Pasadena.
My Fluevog Peacemakers pair perfectly with The Dress.
I obtained them on Fluevog Day at the Abbot Kinney store.
Here is The Dress link.
Don't forget -- I've got a Summer-long Link-up Party happening.
Link as much as you'd like. The more the merrier.
