I remember that post, Ms Daisy. It was really interesting.

https://www.bing.com'Design for Each and All'
Happy International Design Day! It's been said the best designs are the ones you never notice, but this giant yellow polka-dotted pumpkin on Japan's Naoshima Island is kind of hard to miss. The sculpture is the work of Yayoi Kusama, an avant-garde artist active since the 1950s and known for crafting outlandish, repeating patterns in bright colors. Polka dots and pumpkins are her most famous motifs, showing up not only on her sculptures but in her paintings, performance pieces, and films.
But when we talk about design, we're not just talking about visuals—design is all around us, from the streets we walk to the app icons we tap. A designer's goal is to make things simpler for people, and since people come from all different walks of life, creating designs that work for everyone is a tough job. That's why 2021's theme for Design Day is 'Design for Each and All.' Whether or not you're a designer, it's a time to reflect on how creative problem-solving can make the world more accessible, fair, and user-friendly for all people.

Minor thread jack. It's not as common to find these as it used to be. This is a relatively intact stockpile of civil defense supplies.MsDaisy wrote: ↑Thu Apr 22, 2021 11:47 am Sometimes you find really creepy stuffs…. Like that bunch of creepy old shoes we found in a sealed up part of the attic over the old porch in our 200+ y/o house. I posted about them on the old forum back when we found them. Apparently it's an old Pagan belief that of all the garments you wear you’re shoes are the one thing to take on something of yourself; they take the shape of your foot. So if you put your old shoes in the attics or under the floors they can stand in for you and protect you from ghosts and evil spirits.

The problem is that the space it is in is extremely difficult to access. It would have made for a really bad bomb shelter. I got to get this crap out of here and it's going to be pricey

Maybe in another space, there is a stash of those old wooden gym scooters that give splinters. You could use those to roll the CD stuff to the door though avoiding the temptation to play smash-em-up with a bunch of the barrels on scooters.

Happy Birthday, Salvador Dali!

To see this blockbuster Salvador Dali exhibit, skip the museum and head to the gardens
Denver Botanic Gardens hosts “Gardens of the Mind a show of his prints
Salvador Dalí was already a living legend when he got around to making the flora-inspired prints currently on display at the Denver Botanic Gardens. His most famous work, 1931’s “The Persistence of Memory,” with its melting clocks, was nearly four decades old and Dalí’s artist-impresario ways were fully melded into the zeitgeist of the 20th century.
These prints, mostly tripped-out etchings layered over traditional botanic illustrations, have that feel of a late-career artist looking for ways to make old ideas new again. They pull from his bag of dreamy, surrealist tricks and perform them on a different stage.

Having won an international street art talent competition some years ago, then touring Europe and taking part in the women street artists' festival Femme Fierce, Silva nevertheless says that she came upon her large-scale vocation almost by accident:
"I started painting murals because a friend gave me some spray cans for my birthday. And with that, I went to paint on the street for the first time, out of curiosity and to try to paint something on a new scale. At that time I was drawing a little too, but I was also studying audiovisual design, so I went to try. Then I started looking for walls in my neighborhood and started painting with brushes and rollers. People in my neighborhood, Villa Tesei, enthusiastically gave up their walls to paint them and there I fell in love with painting in the public space."
