AEDM - Weekend Report
Well Friday was chock-full of art as I attended an arts fair and demonstration for a local SCA branch. (http://www.collegeofstfirmin.org/) I taught a few people how to play Glukhaus, led a bit of a bardic circle, went over weaving on the inkle and lucet a few times, and even practiced my 16th Century dancing. I also learned a new art - pysanka, a Ukranian way of painting and dying eggs.
This is my first attempt.
I rather love this art form, and will likley do more of it in the future. I also learend of a tool called a Blas-Fix used for emptying eggs. Since I plan to do pysanka again, and I have been known to fill egg shells with custard as a treat - I have already ordered one of these tools.
Sadly my first pysanka egg turned into a bit of a zen experiment, as we were packing up our exhibits, I dropped the delicate thing, and heard it crack.
I was able to break it cleanly, and I may attempt to put it back together with a foam adhesive . . . or break it up and to some kind of mosaic with it . . . I don't know. But art is transitive, and all things can be rent asunder.
The rest of my weekend was rather boring, filled with more weaving on the inkle, and some cooking experiments: I have a few tweaks for my sausage risotto, and I am excited to make fried pies for Thanksgivukkah this week - I'll be sure to take pictures and share the results here.
