I Felt That

 We have been driving to Willie every 6 weeks for a haircut from a neighbour who lives just down the street on the Bellarine.  It seems nonsensical to me but don't ever get inbetween a hairstylist and a woman's hair.  As it turns out the haircutting is one thing but the felting is another. Debbie was ready to try an outing, so for an hour or so she managed to walk around a felting exhibition where Karon the haircutter/felter also had her work on display.  The theme was Alice in Wonderland but it seems to me that the Mad Hatters hat would also look equally at home with that other Alice.  I even managed to purchase a secret birthday present for next week.  Don't anyone mention it is a felted scarf. Should come in handy for hiding that cutthroat work.

Beautiful Baboon

 We got some paintings in the mail from Estelle but in our hospital wanderings we must have misplaced them until now.  In any case I am repaying the art work with a drawing for her to colour in.  The correct colour scheme is below but somehow I thing a different set of colours might get used.  This came from the Book of Bs where every word in the story starts with a B, including Bam Boom and Bop.

No Art Today

 Debbie's final art class today has been disrupted not sure if it is rescheduled or cancelled. In the meantime the new studio is now setup in the office near the light filled window.  My green screen did not work so well, as a green edge bled onto the target. I probably did not have strong enough light shining onto the dais. Also my old software required a manual removal of the background rather than an automated approach. Also my elbow was becoming a pain thru the gripping of the mouse so I will stick to taking photos without too much messing with them.

Gallery & Cafe

 The only exercise I did yesterday was a roundabout walk to the letterbox. Today we got the bikes out this morning with a loop around Drysdale but detoured thru town to find the Gallery Cafe, the latest coffee stop in town. This place is all about art, from displays, shows, lessons, sales, work shops to ceramics, word working, sculpture and blacksmithing. We were looking around and decided to get a pelican painting and we were talking about how the artist had put her name on it and a voice said "I used a very fine brush".  She had come in to see how her stuff was going in this art show.  You never know who might be listening.
