flying high in festival mode!

It's been a LONG time since I had a booth an a festival type event... since back in the 70s when I did batik.

Boy I have a ton to do... and work (regular work -- my "9-5" as art director and lead designer for Vision IPD) isn't slowing down. However I am beginning to remember the "festival high" that I used to get leading up to the event... when in the "old days" I would be sewing like a madwoman, putting together John and Martha batik dolls to stuff. Sewed my finger then, too.

Now it's just a matter of putting temp. hangers on the back of the large wooden outside hex signs (the only screws I could find are the dreaded SLOT HEAD so I am waiting for my evening glass of wine to mellow a bit before I attack that job), doing printing related stuff (business cards, brochures, informational attachments for my display) and making sure I have stuff to paint, eat and drink while at my booth. And sunscreen.

I would have like to have had enough designs to fill BOTH sides of my display, but I think this will do for now.

I CAN!

Not a hex, but magic. Is it ART? I dunno... but it was fun!

The motivational/self-esteem project that came to me recently is almost done. I will print out the little notes that the cans will contain this evening. Some will be pre-written with "brags" that I know we each should acknowledge; the rest will say "I CAN_______________ __/__/__ " with a space for the can owner to write their own accomplishments or goals to be visualized as reached, with a date.

The lids will be tacked on lightly with hot glue to hold them in place during transit. Each can was initially opened with an opener that leaves no sharp edges on either can or lid, so they are safe to handle.

I CAN complete spur-of-the-moment, fun projects!
