Report from the trenches

So much for daily postings.... I've been so active doing things that exhaust me that there's been no time to record what those things have been. September 20-24 were a great whirl of setting up at ArtPrize which required solving a variety of problems to address needs for both of my activities–sculpting my log and providing a sandstone carving experience for all comers.

But before I have to stop writing this, I want to announce that I my log and I have moved from our original location to a better one  a half block away.  I am now tcuked behind the Grand Valley State University sign in front of Eberhard Center on Front Ave. very near the Blue Bridge. Why? Because this is where there is an electrical receptacle to power my tools. So my activities are split up now. The sandstone carving is still at the tent (we REALLY didn't want to move the ton-and-a-half of stone parked there...) and I move back and forth.

The weather was obliging the first few days. It only rained once that mattered. But we also had the automatic sprinklers to contend with. Although I'd been assured before I set up that the sprinklers were all off, they weren't. The computer program just kept trying to keep that grass green, green and things in and out of the tent and underfoot got wet, wet, wet. We think they're turned off now and will see later today after I go to South Haven and  St. Joe to fetch other sculptures home before going to GR. See you here or there?
