	When Caregiver Bettina first came to provide me with support after Lois' hospitalization, I'd indulge myself by inviting her to share with me favorite on-line artworks - music, ballet, etc.  Experiencing these treats again, now through her eyes as well as my own, was a special pleasure. Among those Favorites was the work of "Pop-Artist" Vassarelly (Andy Warhol school) who, in his "Atom" series, painted checkerboard patterns that appeared to be three-dimensional, presenting images that seemed to rise from the canvas by means of variations in the intensity and tone of color (in the example below, blue and orange).
	Knowing how much I admired Vasarelly's Trompe Loeil cleverness, Bettina set out to create, as my birthday present, a bedspread replicating the pattern I considered to be the most interesting among Vasarelly's Atom series paintings.
	She hand-wove in wool, each square of the pattern (361 of them)!   This photo [CLICK] shows the work-in-progress of the joining of the squares.
