Not your everyday shot, Pope Francis plays table football, aka foosball, during his weekly general audience at the Vatican on Wednesday, August 18. The table was gifted to him by Sport Toscana Calcio Balilla, a table football association based in Altopascio, Italy.

Rad Nana did it again. Having read that I now have Netflix (thanks to the Superheroes), she sent me a suggestion. 


Sky Ladder: The Art of Cai Guo-Qiang. A stunning documentary, and a 2-minute trailer here. Cai Guo-Qiang is a Chinese contemporary artist who currently lives and works in New York City.

 

A pyrotechnical artist known for his dramatic installations and for using gunpowder as a medium. Gunpowder was an ancient Chinese invention and a thoroughly traditional substance. He developed biodegradable colored chalks for his fireworks. More about the artist, here.

Thank you, Rad Nana!

 

 

 
 
 
An interesting 8-minute video, sketchbook, here.

Just watched the trailer to Sky ladder. That's so exciting. It's a pity we don't have Netflix, but my son has it and I will pass on your recommendation. I'm sure he'l like it. Thanks, Jacki for opening a new world to us.
Judy fits perfectly in this theme.
