I Went To Parc Guell To See A Bit Of Gaudi And I Think My Favorite Parts Of Mosaic Were Done By His Collaborator,
I went to Parc Guell to see a bit of Gaudi and I think my favorite parts of mosaic were done by his collaborator, Josep Maria Jujol. I want to look at more of his work to see if I can tease out which bits he did. The terrace benches are decorated with patterned broken tile that is really beautiful and subtle in a way that much of the other trencadis in the park isn't. The aspect of Gaudi's work I'd not known about was his engineering. The park is full of slanted columns that look decorative but are canted that way to support the load. I'd no idea, until I got up close, how practical his work was. #barcelona #modernisme #artnouveau #architectural #engineering #drawntoadventure ps. On the topic of creative collaboration, this World's Most Fashionable Paper Doll was cut and colored by Tiny Tiki Papier. She is dressed for an apres-touristing picnic. #kidsart #tikidolls #bespoke

Tiki Travel Tip. If you are in France during the summer, eat as many cavaillon melon as you can. They are absurdly delicious and you cannot tire of them. Unless you are French and surrounded by tourists who constantly exclaim, "OMG this is the best melon I've ever had! OMG it is so good!" That might grow tiresome. If you are French and jaded about melons, visit a country with some truck ripened melons that taste of ash and refrigerator coolant. Then you will go home and scrape your teeth against the rinds of these and delight in them.
¡Miralo! Sneak peek at the Spanish Tiki Thank You! A mis amigos en Mexico, los quiero a todos!
