Vintage Designer Sally Levison Originals late 1960’s/early 1970’s Crochet Maxi Dress Established in early 1968, fashion label "Levison Originals" was the creation of a young Sarah Levison-Marder, whose knitwear pieces became very successful within the London fashion scene. With a manufacturing base in the picturesque island of Gozo, Malta, garments were imported and sold to the British public from a Mortimer Street boutique in the heart of Fitzrovia, Mayfair, London Sally Levison self-donated several of her original designs to the V&A Museum in London, and her pieces are now considered very rare and highly collectible. Sally Levison passed away in 2006. The Victoria & Albert Museum: Sally Levison perceived that knitwear was undergoing a radical transformation and caught the mood for coordinated and “mix and match” outfits. Her short-lived but internationally successful business was set up on the small Maltese island of Gozo in 1968. She employed up to one thousand knitters and crocheters and in 1970, encouraged by the Maltese government, set up a factory. The business was sold to Mary Farrin in 1973.

GUS WORTHAM MEMORIAL FOUNTAIN Medium: Bronze Pipes Location: Buffalo Bayou Park Photo Credit: Alice Lowe for the Texas Art Crawl in Houston, Texas The Gus S. Wortham Memorial Fountain was donated to the City of Houston by the Wortham Foundation and American General Life Insurance. It dates from 1978 and is the work of Houston architect and long-time Rice University professor William T. Cannady. Inspired by a similar fountain in Australia, it consists of a central bronze shaft sprouting multiple bronze sprinkler pipes coated in lacquer which create a dandelion-like spherical spray of water. Due to its impressive design and iconic location on Allen Parkway, the fountain is instantly recognizable to Houstonians and is a favorite spot for dog walkers.

"I stood there among the adobe homes in this historical community with the wind gaining strength as the storm rolled in. It was a magical, spiritual moment for me." .....Alice Lowe In the 1500's, migrants from the Pajarito Plateau joined their Tewa-speaking relatives at San Ildefonso. The pueblo is famous as the home of the late Maria Martinez and other makers of polished black pottery. Maria Montoya Martinez (Povika, Pond Lily) (1886 - 1980) San Ildefonso Pueblo | Maria Martinez was a self-taught potter who helped elevate Pueblo pottery to a respected art form. She and her husband Julian were successful polychrome potters and together revived black pottery. Their work improved the economic conditions of the community. Recognized internationally, Maria was an innovator with strong spiritual and cultural awareness. Her skills and techniques have been carried on successfully by subsequent generations.
