The final piece is done...The Spider.


I finished the spider last night. Norm has been working all day on the display stands. What would I do without him. He is such a wonderful husband - so supportive, always there for me. So, amongst the swearing and cursing today after he finished - he found that he had miscalculated and was a foot off on two of the walls - so he had to cut and redo two sides. He is putting the finishing touches on - seeing how they will come together. Now we will have to unscrew and break down the stands - put them in bundles so we can reset them at the El Cortez. I figure it will take me a couple of days just to put the displays together, put the work up and figure out the lighting. Hopefully, it will all come together without too much more swearing or cursing. So, here is the spider. I didn't post the dragonfly - not that I wasn't happy with it - I just had to get this one done - so time was a factor, and now it's put away until it is hung. Don't forget to get your NadaDada on at the El Cortez Hotel June 18-21! An art event you will never forget.

NadaDada is almost here!


I am getting so excited. I have the 6th and final piece for the show behind me - The Spider. My biggest fear. It's so big. So, I will start painting it tomorrow. My husband, Norm is helping with the display. He is making it in our garage. We are going to set up walls which will be lined with black felt. The room will be lit with the black lights over each piece. We aren't sure how it is going to all go together but we will have 3 days to figure it all out. I will post again when my picture is finished.
Get your NadaDada on June 18 -21 Downtown Reno at the El Cortez and the TownHouse MotorLodge. It will be an art experience you will never forget.
