The colors of Mexico

Hola! I'm in sunny Mexico where blue skies and sunshine are plentiful. This is a nice switch for a Seattle girl used to gray on gray. I spent a week in Puerto Vallarta and wandered the streets taking pictures. I also enjoyed some really good food which I'll tell you about in coming posts. Today I headed north to the small town of Bucerias. It has miles of unspoiled beaches and big waves with surfers. I'm having a hard time getting used to the lazy pace here after frenetic PV. A few days here will slow me down.

Plastic and Light at the Museum of Glass

I went down to the Museum of Glass in Tacoma today to hang out with Barbara DePirro who is an artist in residence there this month and next. She's doing cool things with used plastic milk cartons and other everyday things we discard.










This picture was just rolled up paper against the neat orange wall they have in the studio at the museum.

Barbara's website is here: http://www.depirro.com
She is taking recycled art to a new level. She also crochets baskets and purses from recycled plastic trashbags.
