More Washington museum highlights...this is an illegal picture taken at the
Textile Museum of something I love: tea towels! These were designed by
Lucienne Day, a
midcentury British textile designer (oh. so. fabulous!).
An amazing piece at the
Renwick Gallery...
Oracle, by Tim Tate (read about it
here).
This face jug was at the
Smithsonian American Art Museum.
As were all of Elvis representations: this
Elvis face jug is by Michael Crocker...
Not sure who made this Elvis portrait...
This was one of my favorite places: it's the
Luce Foundation Center for American Art at the American Art Museum. It's basically a storage area for much of the museum's collection of items--you can push a button and out pops a drawer full of jewelry (all safely under Plexiglas, of course)...there are paintings and sculpture and folk art, too. So fun.
A necklace (wow!) on display...
A Victorian mourning brooch made of hair (sorry about the sideways picture--thanks, Blogger!).
Love these: miniature eye paintings...
Back to the Renwick: this is
Ghost Clock, by Wendell Castle. It looks like a clock covered with a sheet, yes? In fact, it's all carved from wood...
And these three photos (above and below) are of
Game Fish, by Larry Fuente.

That ghost clock totally blows me away. It is so cool!

I love that supermodel who is married to David Bowie; I believe her name is Imoni.
