Assorted Items

If you're available this coming Monday, there's a fibre event happening in Castleton at The Mill at Piper Creek.  If you recall, Dianne and Judy attended a fibre festival there earlier in the year and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.  It looks like the same folks are now organizing a "yarns and yakking" session for the next few months, on the 3rd Monday of the month.  The first event is November 19.  Rug Hooking is definitely a fibre craft, and would fit in just fine with all the other crafty things that will be going on there.

There was a book on colour theory published at the turn of the century, and it's being re-printed in full colour.  The book itself looks interesting, but the article about the author is interesting, too!  This info comes to us via the OHCG Facebook page.   https://hyperallergic.com/467406/revisiting-emily-vanderpoels-color-theory-book-117-years-after-its-first-release/

This looks like an intriguing site.  "Founded in 2013, the Canadian Online Art Book Project is a growing digital library of books–all original works commissioned by the Art Canada Institute–by the country’s leading art experts on artists who have made a critical contribution to the evolution of the nation’s art history. Each year the ACI releases six new titles in this program."

I checked out the book on Tom Thomson, and it's a wonderful resource.....there may be yet another Thomson rug in me!  Not all of the artworks listed are in the public domain, but it all makes for interesting reading.
