this is my one splurge, ok maybe two

this is the Institute, where we have all of our classes...

So my one splurge so far, was another pillow for my bed. The one that is there now, it just not cutting it! The pillow seriously the cheapest one I could find in Tesco, the Czech equivalent to Walmart. Sadly it was 94 crowns, about $10. I guess I blame Beth for this one, spoiling me with the world of scrumbliness! I am just trying to bring it to Prague.

And today my studio class took a trip to a Czech Poster Exhibit from the late 1800s to 1900s. It was absolutely amazing to see the actual pencil drawings, painting, prints... I could have spent hours in there. They were so huge, and so impressive with how colorful and detail oriented they were. It makes me wonder about the advertising we have today, the time that went into making these posters all by hand is unthinkable, very inspiring. The hand generated typography was just amazing up close.

 I loved it so much, I had to just go ahead and splurge on the book since I could not take pictures. $8 is not that bad!!

Some of the artists included  Toulouse-Lautrec,  Mataloni, Privat, and some great others. Here are some of the posters that I saw, I just dropped them in from google. But I saw them in real life!
