3 HARBOURS ARTS FESTIVAL
Art in Unusual Places
Prestonpans, Cockenzie and Port Seton
Friday 5th to 14th June 2009

The 3 Harbours Arts Festival heads into its 4th year in 2009. The last three years have seen the festival grow and change as we try new ideas, perfect the areas that are working well and try to improve on those that are not. In 2008 we saw the introduction of the John Muir Art Trail, the Boatie Blest

MONDAY OCT. 27

Today, we made our raindrop palliets. After Tawny finalized the shape and size of the drops, I cut out cardboard templates. Then we used a sharpie to trace the patterns on to the pre taped car visor and tablecloth.

Then we cut them out with junk scissors, and added ANOTHER LAYER OF TAPE, and trimmed the edges.

In all, today we make 3 large, 18 medium, and 20 small raindrops; and picked up some "EXTRA STRENGTH" antiperspirent for our actress. Will it be enough?

Howie and Tawny will check in every few days as they create a costume for Ms. January in this year's 99cent musical at Bootleg.

Dear AMP Members:

The courts in Colorado have just struck down a scheme to disenfranchise over 10,000 overseas voters, disproportionately Democrats. Unfortunately, most, like myself, will not receive ballots in time.

If you know someone, please let them know they can cast a provisional ballot which can be found on line.

Here is the letter I sent to friends and family. I honestly (cliché alert) never believed this could happen to me.
------

Dear Everyone,

My voter registration, legally signed and reconfirmed about a month and a half ago, was one of over 10,000 stuck from the rolls in Colorado. The State Courts has renewed our right to vote with provisional ballots, which luckily I'd already done a few day ago, thinking it was merely lost in the mail.

DON'T BE NAIVE.

Tawny and I have been invited by costumer to the "Cars" Ann Closs-Farley to design and build a costume for Ms. January of this year's 99cent musical.

Ken Roht's (Orphean Circus) nearly annual 99cent show features a set and costumes COMPLETELY CREATED WITH MATERIALS FROM THE 99CENT ONLY STORE!

As a documentation of our process, as well as a tutorial for anyone interested in working in this style, I will be checking in with a new post every few days...

Our first meeting with Ann was great. She let us "shop" for a whole bag of goodies donated by the 99cent only stores. We grabbed packing tape, plastic tablecloth material, silver "bead" necklaces, shiny car visors (for the front window,) and other miscellaneous materials.
