Baby steps...
Getting a lot done these days and a lot not done these days...poor Gracie has been having weird troubles, the latest is...she failed two hearing tests in two weeks (turns out the go back and double check to make sure it is a "problem" before they freak out the parents). Left ear. I found out on Friday, taking her in to the doctor on Monday at 3pm. I'm really hoping she has a low grade infection (allergies!? Hope, hope...) and this will all get straightened out. Poor kiddo.
Besides kid stuff and school stuff, I've been trying to organize my time to get my little "solar paneled art gallery" concept into reality for Flipside. I managed to put together some really ugly, basic prototypes just to have a better visual...basically, the frames are 9x9s (using 1x4s), on the top we cut out a little chunk to set a solar panel on top, rechargable battery and LED to light up the box. I'm hoping (once I get some BETTER prototypes going, and a better idea of cost as well) to turn it over to FS as a community art project. I've been very frustrated with the event for years because so much focus went into really (fun) big camps, but not so much art...and that's why I fell in love with the community in the first place. I want to bring a project to the community that will inspire more people to participate in the art realm. PLUS, I love the idea that each frame has its own power source-people can make these things, bring them out, and then take them home afterward-having their very own piece of cool glowy art.
Man, I really hope that works out.
I just need someone to constantly ply me with coffee, and I'll kick a** in school AND get this project in order.
