State Fair walkabout

1/29/2015

Earlene The Snapshot Queen took George The Glass Mosaic Fish on a walkabout at the State Fair. Disaster. Earlene keeps her key to the Ferris wheel about her person at all times. George searched Earlene's magic scarf, found the key and flapped himself atop a carousel horse. Amusement rides look alike to fish.
Landing atop the Ferris wheel after one big carousel horse buck, George shattered into enough pieces to ride every car. Success. Lottie Logic: Always ride the carousel first.

There are precious few minutes a LottiePop Pinwheel by Gustavo is on the ground attached to nothing. All she needs is a gust of wind, humans looking away and she's up up and away. No such luck yesterday. Gustavo's had to rope too many pinwheels in the sky.

And what to say to Kaitlyn Sakry and James Mack, art curators extraordianires if our pinwheel escapes?   "OOOOOOOOOOPS!" seems rather lame? However a few of our clients told us the best part of installation is watching Gustavo rope a pinwheel in the sky.

Special thanks to all in the Mesquite City Arts Council.

And Jeanie (not sure of spelling, will find out) for putting in good words for this fabulous location in front of the Main Library    WHAT A LOCATION!

I procrastinated finishing my part of a collaborative sculpture with Staci Whitten and Gustavo Galvan every year for the Friends of Lottie Sculpture Garden at the State Fair. Bob and I had short notice that our concession, State Fair Photos, was accepted at the that was all on my mind. OOOOOOOPS!

Donned the bib overalls, welded the pieces, cut a million little shards of glass and threw them in my glass kiln, Renaldo. Paid Renaldo no more attention. Opened the kiln 24 hours later and not a sliver had melted. Crap.

Wonderful generous Virginia Lindsay came over and adjusted Renaldo, but Renaldo did not rally. She then offered to fire my pieces. I told you she's very sweet and generous. Glass pieces came out of her kiln wonderful.

January, time to get Renaldo working again. Called Keith, he came, worked his magic and got Renaldo up to 1,800 degrees. Then lectured me about all the leaves around the kiln. Surprised I hadn't burned the back yard down. Hot flashes ran through my paranoid person. Unplugged Renaldo immediately never to use until every leaf composted.

Check out the wasp nest I found directly under the kiln in the cement block. Beautiful, but imagine if they'd gotten mad when my hands were grasping a kiln shelf full of glass. Would have been dead Lottie.

Thank you, Sweet Keith, lecture worked. Lottie Logic: Your friend may have more knowledge than he knows.

Finally, I think I've figured out how to blog on the new website!

Welcome to Lottie Logic.

It is curiously true
That the dragons you disparage
Choose to not believe in you
