The two above are an artform new to me...thread work and paint on fabric which has also been sort of inflated making it three dimensional
This museum was either opened or reopened today. Free entry! (or else, it's 10-00$ for adults).
I spend about an hour inside. Nice works. My only critical comment is that a few of the works did not feel 'contemporary'.
Other things in the area: After the museum, we had lunch at Al Pastor (Mexican) in 'The junction'. Roamed around in this lovely area which has a relaxed ambience, restaurants and antique shops.
The junction always reminds me of a day I had spent at Brooklyn in NYC...Brooklyn had a similar relaxed charm about it with people ambling slowly by chatting & shopping. It's unlike the crowded and busy Manhattan....which has a different charm.
We enjoyed (free!) a plate of boiled sweet potato with a whole lot of relishes at The Sweet Potato. Explored the Value Village in the area but didn't buy anything...though tempted to buy so many containers! I am such a hoarder and not buying is my attempt to avoid hoarding(What's already at home, I can't throw).
My husband who's latest hobby is woodwork bought a pound of beeswax(13-00$) at the beeshop near value village. This is really inexpensive!
All in all, a nice relaxing day. Last but not the least, I love the drive through Bloor street...enjoying the shops and people.
