Title: (almost) Off to Colorado! 30-NOV-24
Post by: DiveMilw on Nov 30, 2024, 07:35 PM
I have nearly finished packing for my work trip to Hayden, CO.  Tomorrow morning, I will be flying into Eagle/Vail and then driving up to Hayden.  And then drive back to Eagle/Vail in two weeks.  I am very glad, so far, there is very little snow in the forecast through the 13th.  I looked into driving into Denver but it is a four hour drive.  I guess I will have to find things to do in the Steamboat Springs area.

I'm wondering why you have a two-week work trip to such a small community. I admit that I had to look up Hayden, and there it is--right between Steamboat Springs and Craig, neither of which is exactly a booming metropolis, although Steamboat has a ton of stuff going on. Especially during ski season.

But what I really want to know is: how much art did you come away with during your art-filled vacation?

Some of the art I bought.  The taller bowl in the middle is actually from the same artist last year. It was a "practice" bowl when she was trying out something new.  The other two bowls have barrel cactus needles glued to them.  I love the way they look like they are floating or on legs.

The sculpture with the rabbit is a collaboration of the artist who made the bowls (Scarlet Fiona Reed) and fiber artist Tracy Laasch.  I wanted to purchase it last year and was very excited to see it this year.
