Convergence 2012 - Long Beach

Convergence was a textile-themed convention that also brought in massage therapy and yoga classes! They had a nifty display of textile projects, largely resembling sci-fi garb and haute runway getups and some interesting 'art' pieces. Unfortunately they would not allow photography in the exhibit hall, so we just wandered through and then hit the vendors! One technique used in several pieces was felt-backed silk, which has inspired us to add another project into our own textile group calendar.





After the halls closed at 4:30, we took advantage of being right at the harbor and wandered down in search of wine and cheese...




We ended up with wine (and beer for Mia and rootbeer for Uncle Bear) and sweet potato fries and calamari instead, which was surprisingly perfect.
