This is from Riley. Note the tall skinny name? It's sad to see the aggressive scribbling on the stamp. The pattern on the front is an imprint from the back of the envelope - which gives me a good idea if I decide to go with the idea of letting the previous incoming envelopes inspire my next outgoing envelopes. There would be endless ways to create designs on envelopes by putting things inside. What's the name for that technique where you transfer an image by coloring over something that is not flat. Trying to remember what that is called is going to drive me completely crazy. I do not have time to research. Hopefully someone will know - and leave a comment or email me. I'm still preoccupied with the ofrenda - it is still Sun 10/26

As I write this add-on it is the Tuesday before the Thursday installation. There are only a few last minute details.
I am waiting for the paint to dry on the back and bottom of the skull so I can do the teeth.
I wonder what I am forgetting.
I wonder what will go wrong.
The best part of these volunteer projects is there is much less stress when there is no payment for services. Not that I would do a sloppy or careless job on donated work. I still redo things that don't please me - but there is no stress about whether the *client* will be satisfied - because there is no client. I guess the museum is the client - and they've been OKing things all along.
