A Tour of Our Bookshelf - Arne's studio p1 - (by ARNE & CARLOS)

[@The_double_ewe]

I appreciate seeing a messy studio!!! Seeing other KZbin channels where the studio super clean is just weird. I love seeing mess it just means real artistic processes are happening. Your book collection is also so fun!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@evelynkorjack2126]

i was able to see a chihuly exhibition in florida, "seaforms" it was so beautiful. i love to look at peoples books and am usually disappointed that most people arent even the least interested in mine. so many people do not even have ONE book, or ONE hobby (i have worked in so many peoples houses). this saying i read somewhere: "a house without books is like a room without windows". Thank you for showing us your workroom.

[@anncurran4704]

This is another Chihuly story. I visited a small art museum in Port Angeles, Washington when they featured Chihuly glass. I recall it was his baskets. A docent was touring with a small group of children, 10-12 years old. I followed along as she talked about how to look at the beautiful glass displays. I've seen several Chihuly display's but none more memorable than this lovely day. I often look at what the two of you are showing that brings you inspiration and what you think is fantastic. I think I may need a docent to help me understand what you see!

[@duckfibers5136]

I love Chihuly, he is one of my favorite artists. His glass work is stunning.

[@ARNECARLOS]

[@corinacollahua88]

GRACIAS! Mi mente y mi corazon se llenan de color e ideas, hermosos libros que inspiran!!💖😍😘😘

[@cherylg.813]

Thank you for sharing your library treasures. I love my knitting and cook books. My daughter loves to tell me, when I have to move, books are obsolete. Get rid of them, everything is online. I personally, love looking through my books and not at a screen. Glad to see I'm not alone. ❤️😘

[@ARNECARLOS]

😊😊

[@roli3342]

i don't have a specific title at hand but there are books about the quilts of the underground railroad which are not only beautiful but served as signposts and directions that led many slaves to freedom - you might enjoy looking at those also - thank you for these tours - your commentary is a window into your souls

[@ARNECARLOS]

😊👍🏻

[@mariabell7574]

I love Chihuly! He created an amazing (very expensive) installation of glass artwork at the downtown library in San Antonio, Texas. My family loved going there, and the beauty is inspiring!

[@sharonrhoads2461]

The internet is wonderful for searching beautiful things. But there is nothing more magical than curling up in a comfy chair with a beautiful book.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Cozy

[@wesewpro]

Thanks for sharing! I love Chihuly as well! Arne, your shirt is also beautiful. You two seem like such kind people!

[@jillfoster6369]

Oh my goodness guys - I don’t think you realise how at home I feel looking at your room and books. Fabulous. Arne your desk particularly makes me feel happy as it is so full of stuff. That’s how I like my desk - full of stuff 🤭 the. They wonderful books - thanks so much for this delight. Keep enjoying your summer break 🌻

[@ARNECARLOS]

Will do, you as well!

[@crashq8784]

I used to work in libraries and the best time was when new books arrived. Opening the boxes, getting out the books, the feel and smell of the new items. I just don't get that these days when I buy an ebook. Books are special and are treasures, thank you for sharing your collection and memories with us.

[@ARNECARLOS]

It is a special feeling.

[@8Gammie]

That was so fun, interesting and beautiful. Thank you for sharing some of your most treasured books. I love books! love, hugs,prayers.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Books give endless joy

[@catnapper3923]

I am a bibliophile. My ideal house is *empty* except for overflowing bookshelves, a grand piano, scrumptious yarn, music to knit by - and scattered enormous, comfortable pillows to settle comfortably on, to read, knit and rest. Thanks for showing us what you like.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

I love my knitting, crochet, sewing and quilting books. I never get tired of them. Art books are wonderful. I visit the public libraries when I'm in a mood for new ideas and patterns I don't already have. Thank you for this video.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@cathyhawkins9264]

Ken Burns of documentary fame is a collector of old quilts and finds out their history. I caught a special one day on it. Maybe on PBS but probably you can find it on you tube.

[@cathyhawkins9264]

Actually I looked for it. It’s Nebraska stories, the quilts of Ken Burns.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for sharing Cathy!

[@lindavanausdell1028]

[@Elianaalfonso7703]

I adore Chihuly. Have been to 2 major exhibitions, one in Canberra, Australia, of sea creatures, and another in Los Angeles, of boats and sticks, like the ones you showed. The glass is unbelievable. I photographed every single piece. Love seeing your book collection. Please show us more!

[@ARNECARLOS]

We have another one planned for after the summer!

Thank you for the tour. Arne, I would feel so at home in your studio. My favorite quote is by Robert Louis Stevenson, “A book is like a frigate, that will take you miles away.”

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you so much!

[@bluegrassdreams2seams510]

What!? No suitcases! I love libraries we all have… and the moose in your window in room behind you! I have a large collection of knitting books and I will never knit everything. I should donate some to our library since most are hardback. Well, maybe we learn more about the moose in window😊 lol! Happy knitting! Cheryl

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Cheryl!

[@janikabertone5566]

Yes the Chiully exhibit at the Seattle center is Fantastic. I like to take people there when they visit

[@ARNECARLOS]

Lucky them!

[@marygrouse8004]

What a fabulous collection of books and what an amazing memory Carlos has, remembering where and when you’ve traveled and purchased the books. Can’t wait to see the next episode.

[@ARNECARLOS]

We hope you will like it as well!

[@merinomagician2331]

Loved this episode. Loved seeing your books. I love seeing what people read and how it's affected their lives. I'm also a book collector and own over 1,500. Carlos, I received "People Knitting" as a gift from my husband. It's one of my favorites and I go back to it time and time again. Thank you both for sharing a piece of your lives with us.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching!

[@agnesjamont6415]

I live about 90 minutes from Seattle and had not heard of the Chihuly Museum, so will add that to my list of must sees

Great glimpse of some of your books. I saw the spectacular Chihuly displays at the NY Botanical Gardens. Such works of art in glass I have never seen.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Yay

[@zoenorman9846]

Thank you for another wonderful video, Arne and Carlos. What lovely books with so many talented artists. It was fascinating to hear you talk with such enthusiasm about where you get your inspiration for your work. I'm very much looking forward to the next video.

We hope you will enjoy it as well, thank you for watching!

[@judyfick2967]

Always a thumbs up!

[@kylejohnson6924]

There is a Yayoi Kusama installation here in Arkansas at Crystal Bridges. It's a wonderful experience! Definitely adding the Lopi book(s) to my list!

[@oagufi]

I love Yayoi Kusama! 💗💗💗 I saw her installation in Japan. Breathtaking!

[@ARNECARLOS]

She is something special

[@katrinalevin4064]

I love the People Knitting book. I have a photograph copy near my desk in my classroom of Grace Kelly knitting on a film set. I like to look at it when I knit during a wee break.

[@ARNECARLOS]

❤️

[@lynnbean7200]

I saw a wonderful Chihuly exhibition at the National Gallery of Australia many years back, including a glass tunnel. Truly beautiful and inspirational.

[@lynnbean7200]

And a Yayoi Kusama exhibition in Tokyo. Fabulous.

[@ARNECARLOS]

👍🏻

[@anitasmith9914]

Cannot have enough books. Life would be nothing without great writers, artists and designers. I include you two in that comment. Love your books, your patterns and colours you choose. Thanks for this insight. Hope your break is relaxing 👍💯❤

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you so much Anita!

[@anniebell6846]

[@lisamatthews2726]

Loved seeing your books and inspiration - great to be introduced to new artists

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@Knitterly]

Chihuly, OMG! Twenty years ago I was working near an extraordinary glass gallery in Toronto. I walked in the first time on my lunch hour and there were these huge magical pieces hanging down several metres from the ceiling. I learned later that the artist was Chihuly. His work transported me from my mundane office lunch hour to an other-world reality. Then, around 8 years ago, I was able to visit the Art Gallery of Ontario when the hosted a large Chihuly exhibit. Such magic, such vision!

[@ARNECARLOS]

👍🏻😊

[@bridgetrsews]

Love seeing your book collection! Bridget

I went to the Chihuly outdoor installation at Biltmore House in Asheville, North Carolina. Beautiful glass and beautiful gardens.

[@chrisdonohoo]

I'm always interested in seeing what inspires people's creativity. . . . Chihuly is fabulous, that's a great book! Also museums that inspire, such as Victoria & Albert museum, went there for the first time this summer.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Chris!

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@suea7509]

Fantastic, so enjoyed seeing your books. I love Kusama's work too and Dale Chihuly; we were lucky enough to have a big exhibition here in London at Kew Gardens, with so many of his glass sculptures in amongst the plants and flowers, as well as in the greenhouses. There is a massive chandelier at the V&A which is fabulous but very much in need of a dust... I can't begin to imagine how scary that would be as a job! Have a lovely holiday both.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You as well!

[@allicla]

The brilliant V&A Quilts 1700-2010 book arrived today, stunning resource and thank you for the recommendation 😊 Thankfully a preloved book, last one they had! Looking forward to a good read this weekend.

Enjoy!

[@gailgaddy5340]

[@jenniferjohnson9335]

Great post today! My husband and I saw some of Chihuly's art when it was at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC in 2018--completely overwhelmingly fabulous! Also, my husband aced Christmas by giving me the book "People Kniiting". Loved the coloring book and the Lopi book! Thanks for sharing!

[@nicolelafontaine1720]

Thanks for all these inspiring art books references. I used to do coloring in a mandala book before I started knitting again more seriously. Coloring was really relaxing but knitting is such a passion now, I prefer the end product I get, even when it is just plain socks. Have a nice week !

[@ARNECARLOS]

You as well Nicole!

[@beverlyness7954]

I was able to see an exhibit by Chihuly at the Portland Art Museum. It was amazing and inspiring. He is an incredible artist and visionary. I plan to go to the Seattle area museum one day soon since I live close (in Oregon). I'm very intrigued by Yayoi Kusama and hope to see her dots in person. I decided to purchase the People Knitting book. That was so interesting. I loved seeing some of your beautiful books, and look forward to seeing more in the future. And Arne, I understand the mess. When inspiration hits, things are pulled out and piles of creativity are everywhere. Thank you for this video.

[@ARNECARLOS]

That must have been something else

[@mandybiddle2001]

I’m going to Seattle in October and can’t wait to go to the Chihuly museum…. Thank you for the taster !!

[@estherrubin867]

I love how you cherish your books and the memories they hold for you. Thank you for sharing. Your books reminded me of two exhibits that had a huge impact on me. Both were at the DeYoung Museum in San Francisco. The Chihuly exhibit was spectacular and magical. Another exhibit that has remained one of the most emotional experiences I’ve had in a museum was of the Gee’s Bend Quilters. There’s a lot written about them so I encourage you to look them up if you’re not already familiar with them.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for the tip!

[@silvershadow013]

You guys are so funny!! I love those books! I have used the Lopi wool. Icelandic wool is the warmest! Thanks so much for sharing the books! Looks like I could spend months looking at all your books!! So inspiring! Much love! ❤
