They put up some pretty elaborate displays at our church. Right now to go along with the theme of "Story of Grace" there are structures made of books. There were also these books with folded pages to spell out words.
Love, Faith, Grace... words to live by.
I had been looking forward to seeing the Little Golden Books exhibit at Memorial Art Gallery since I heard there was some of Richard Scarry's work there. He is one of my favorite illustrators.
Several of my friends told me it was a great time to visit because there was also the Infinity Boxes exhibit sprinkled throughout the museum also.
They were right. The Golden Book exhibit was neat to see... the illustrations were so detailed and stylized, but the Infinity Boxes were super cool too.
They were so interactive and fascinating to look inside.
Total selfie material.
We had a lot of fun looking at them... Aaron to infinity.
While walking around I had to stop at this piece. Not only is it very cool how you can see the artwork through the little glass sphere, but the large installment is actually made up of different colored spools of thread!
I couldn't resist.
I am in Austin, TX for a couple days speaking on Twitter at a PR Conference. I have never been to Austin before but have heard rave reviews for it. I resorted to my favorite travel information gathering tool - twitter. One tweet returned lots of suggestions for good eats and spots to visit in Austin.
One that caught my attention was BookPeople book store. I didn't have a lot of time but I noticed it was quick walk down the street from my hotel. On the way I saw an Amy's Ice Cream and wondered "Does ice cream down south taste the same?" Yes. Yes, it does.
On to the book store. It was just as big and curious as everyone said it was. In one back corner I found a barber chair. At first I thought it was a dentist chair and that gave me the heebie jeebies. A barber's chair isn't that much better really.
I really liked Austin and didn't have enough time to explore. I will be back and will certainly be sure to hit up the famous food trucks!
For Day 28 of 30 Days of Creativity I arranged my books in order by color. I would have like to have done the rainbow from start to finish but I am limited to what book go on what shelf by shelf height so I had to do it on each shelf.
I think it looks cool. It remains to be seen if I'll be able to find the books I'm looking for now.
