I was invited to participate in a monthly event at OMSI called "After Dark". After Dark is a different theme each month and for the month of November the featured theme was DIY. So I gathered my supplies together and set up an exhibit that taught museum goers how to marble paper for art, scrapbook, collage, and even bookmarks.
I brought an old school overhead projector with me and projected my ebru tray on to a screen so people could see what I was doing without crowding.
Plus it looks really cool.
I brought a couple extra trays with me and set them up for the museum patrons to learn and play on.
My exhibit was set up in the planetarium wing of the museum so there was star lights and a full moon glowing over head as people learned how to make monoprints of galactic color swirls on water.
I also set up an art display of my ebru for people to see what can de done with the medium. When I found out I was going to be in the planetarium I put together a collection of weird abstract ebru pieces for the display. Some where quite appropriately cosmic.
A galaxy far far away.
All and all it was a ton of fun, and I look forward to using the projector much more down the line.
Peace & Love,
