I went to a street fair yesterday, hoping in vain to meet fellow North Carolina car artist Deb Allen. She was painting the sidewalk, but I forgot to ask what. (I did admire her painting, not knowing it was hers.) Besides, we were there on different days. And parking was so bad that we wouldn't have seen each others' cars anyway. As an art car event, it was a total bust. Next month she and I hope to have a "mini parade" at a location to be determined.
They had these wolf statues at the street fair, which different artists had decorated in various ways. There were all sorts of wolves: one cut open with a city scene inside, one with a sun/moon mosaic, one that looked like a picnic lunch. But the one that caught my eye was covered with beads and spirals made from the same carpet I'm using. That wolf was constantly surrounded by a crowd of children, patting and touching the beads. Hmm, maybe I should add beads to undersea mah jongg? If people are having fun touching my car, they might be less inclined to steal things from it. Hope springs eternal.
