BMI3.A Hot Day and a Trophy by K. Fabian

Boy its been hot.  Real hot.  Its a funny thing.  I was told that if you want to get used to the heat you have to expose yourself to the heat.  For example, when I went to the middle east for a vacation I was told to do a lot of steam baths. So as I was getting accustoming to feeling uncomfortable I decided to try that.  And you know what? I feel much better in the heat.

However it is really hot.  So after I went to the pool I took a stroll back home.  On the way someone had left a tangled beaded screen on a bench.  Probably they were feeling upset because of the heat and just tossed it.  So because the heat and the walk and the fact that the bench was in an appealing shady part of the street I decided to sit down and try to untangle the beads.  If the thing looked good it could hang up in the hallway.  If not I could get rid of it.

It was a perfect day for repetitive behavior like bead untangling and as I sat there a young lady came up and asked me if I would help.  So all of a sudden there were two of us untangling.  (it was pretty big so there was plenty of space to keep comfortable).  We must have been untangling for about a half an  hour and the deed the was done.  Give or take a couple of broken beads, I had in front of me a fine example of a beaded seperater (probably from Africa. Lucy said Morocco).

Triumphant I headed back home with the cumbersome object held high over my head.  (it was heavy and so it was a relief to get home).  I found even a great place for it in the hallway. Some more detangling was necessary but now I have a really funky cool addition to my collection in the hallway.  I call it the Inside Gallery and this baby is for sale. for the amazing price of $500.00.  That is the highest price that the establishment I live in will let me go.

Quality Framing and Trouble

I had to stop my association with my framer which was a major drag.  I said two things actually. One is that I feel that continuing to put money into professional framing is not only time consuming and hindering my ongoing fight with poverty. Two, I feel that there has been a backlash against the actual quality work of the framer.  There has always been some bad feeling for the gallery concerning the fact that it is on the floor I live on which is not necessarily of the same religious persuasion of the congregation that owns and runs it. It might be that the excellent work that has been done is a bone of contention to some significant players in the place. That was one thing For some reason, not too long after the conversation and final association with the said framer I was contacted by a good and qualified patron of the arts who was terminally ill.  She had painstakingly collected some very important magazines throughout her life and being enamored of them kept them...

A Good Exhibition: but the Wrong Kind of Art

I met a couple of art specialists and we were discussing the major problem with my art which is I have zero income. That includes my exhibition in the residence I live in. This exhibition has been very much instrumental in upgrading the clientele and the reputation of the house.  However, it has been years I have been working on it and there has been a lot of time and money spent on it with no income. time is passing and I am growing older.  I wondered why and the first thing I came up with is that I knew quite clearly that the work I was exhibiting was not of the kind that was commonly taken as "serious" in prestigious homes and exhibitions that I saw.  Since I had no money I knew that my place to get that kind of art would be in quality prints, more specifically old books found in thrift shops and the like. But a better opportunity would come up. For some reason, not too long after the conversation with the specialists, I was contacted by a good and qualified patron o...
