state fair pics #4 creative arts building

all of these pictures are taken in my second favorite building, the creative arts building. these are all the arts and crafts stuff that people made. all of the stuff is displayed behind glass, so some of my pictures have unfortunate reflections in them.

this guy is made from metal. i love him! you can see the incredible detail in the piano keys and hammers.

handmade lace or tatting (not sure which) plus hand spun hand dyed yarn on the right. forgive the blob, there was a terrible flash reflection and it looks slightly better blacked out than glaring white.
