Be Project Manager of an Interactive Musical and Visual Instrument

S.O.N.I.C or Synchronized Optical Network of Interactive Compositions is a wonderful musical and visual experience and it has been a joy to work with 5 other wonderful artist in the making of this interactive instrument. Each member of the team has been a vital part of making this dream come true. It has had it's challenges and setbacks, but all in all the experience is a once in a lifetime venture and I am glad I was a part of this dream becoming a reality. Our first live presentation will be September 30th in Atlanta, GA. (Info on events and locations of presentations can be found on the website's link below.) After this presentation there will be video on the website with more information and demonstration of how the instrument works.

Make a Three Tier Fondant Cake

I made a Three Tier Fondant, marble cake, and it turned out pretty good for a first. After baking 4 inch high cakes each with a different diameter of 5, 7, and 9 inches, I then adding icing between the layers along with columns inside to help support the structure and avoid the weight from shifting. I rolled out the fondant and added it to each layer (not an easy task) before decorating the cake. Seven hours is too long for making a cake... next time I am buying it!!

Enjoy Duke University's Gardens

Photographing the Sarah P Duke Gardens of Duke University has given me tremendous pleasure. I had been told that Duke University is a beautiful place to visit, even if you do not plan on going to school here. You must take the time to see this incredibly beautiful place located just outside Raleigh, North Carolina. These gardens are only a glimpse of what this place is like. The grounds are spectacular, along with all the buildings, and the history is truly remarkable. Definitely a place to enjoy.

Seen Pigs Fly

I have never seen pigs fly.... that is until today. While traveling through a group of small towns in northern Georgia, I saw quite a few antique shops along the little two lane highway. From Freehome to Macedonia and then on to Lathemtown I drove, all the while glancing at the local shops. All called to me, and yet I didn't stop until I saw pigs fly. Yes, I know you won't believe me until you too see the photos, so here they are. Another reason I stopped was because the name of the little store was just too perfect. It is called "The Green Bean Exchange. You just can't get a better name than that! They have all these wonderful and fun sculptures outside, but inside there were also some beautiful antiques, like an old washing machine with a crank to wring the water out of the clothes, along with some beautiful antique furniture, and quaint little trinkets throughout. The best part of the whole thing was seeing pigs fly!

Paint a Mural

Painting is fun and painting with others is a great experience. So, when I had a chance to paint a mural, I enjoyed it tremendously! This is a painting of a real place in Mexico called Coyoacan. It is the main plaza in town with a fountain of wolves. This was so much fun, I am looking for a new wall to paint a mural as soon as possible! In Atlanta we have an event happening this week called "Living Walls" and artist from all over the world come to Atlanta to express their art and make our city beautiful with street art. You can enjoy seeing some of the art and get more information at the following link. http://livingwallsconference.com/
