What hot and sloggy day! But what a fun day I had. Today I got up early to help Dean clean out his truck of fishing poles and coolers etc... so we could head to Long Island City, Queens to Materials for the Arts. This is a city run organization which takes all sorts of materials from industries in the city and around the state and offers them to schools and community organization to be used in the making of art. What a treasure hunt! Bins and bins of fabric scraps in every color and texture; bins and bins of weaving yarns and buttons and zippers; hundreds of bolts of fabric; old mannequins; cell phone covers; Xmas decorations... you name it. One of my companions found a 5 foot velveteen covered set of letters which she'll use somehow in an art exhibit.
I stocked up on material for the art therapy dept. and found several treasures which I'll use myself.
I helped the textile arts dept. restock their shelves with bolts of fabric and have an exhausted but deeply satisfied feeling now. It feels like I've discovered Santa's elf workshop.
.
Fun ahead.
