This exhibition opens at the Captain Cook Museum the very day Mrs. CH has a Birthday and the day after Mr. CH had his Birthday! Not only that, but together they created a mosaic that will be included in the exhibition (U.K. Customs Bureaucrats willing).

We'd like to thank Dr. Ian & his co-curators for giving us this rare opportunity. To think that a Velvet Glass mosaic will be shown at the Captain Cook Museum, The Kon Tiki Museum and on Easter Island is a mighty humbling experience.

And one heck of a joint Birthday present too!

I'm not sure if it's o.k. to show the piece before the exhibition opens, but this is the rough design we did:

Apparently 'The Powers That Be' liked this design enough that a cleaned up version got used for the back cover of the exhibition catalog.

Double Birthday Presents!

We only wish we'd been able to make it over to England for the opening :(

Great Big Mahalos to Dr Ian Conrich & every one else involved.
