Steampunk Brocton at the Fuller Museum of Craft

Dear Diary,

When life cancels a party you go to a museum!  Mary and I headed to our favorite museum, the Fuller Museum of Craft.  We were not disappointed.  The primary exhibit was a steampunk re-imagining of the shoe industry in Brockton, Massachusetts which reached its peak in the early 20th century.

The Sole of the New Machine was a fascinating amalgamation of old machinery and whimsy in typical steampunk fashion and we were both delighted to wander around the galleries. I find the Fuller so inspirational on many levels.

There was also a small exhibit that featured photography in mixed media pieces and I was especially drawn to the inventive ways these artists combined their photographic work with other materials.  I took a lot of notes!

Today, I am off to a Blipmeet with Berelaxed and her famous cat Raspberry.  I will visit them on my way back to Maine.  The weather is frigid but no snow so it should be smooth sailing back to my Emerson later in the day.
