Carl and Lou wanted to se the White House, and nearby I had been intrigued by this Dresden style red brick Victorian building. It was an art gallery with a special exhibition of 'fibre' based arts and crafts that blew us away. A bowl made od sticks pinned together, a tapestry that looks from a distance like a photo printed on paper – see inset close-up. A 'game fish' made of board game bits and pieces and finally a grandfather clock that was carved out of a solid piece of timber and what appears to be a white canvas cover is actually bleached timber – it looked so real that even after reading the note, it was hard to believe. There was also a big ballroom with some a range of period US art that reminded us of two of our favorites - Bendigo and Ballart art galleries.
