Collaboration and Flow

This evening the posts are flowing! Margo was working on some script before she decided to document the process instead. Unfortunately there are no photos of the effort, but you will see her work in the upper right corner.

I sat back and watched the right and left brain artists battle it out. Fascinating to say the least.

The idea of being in the Reston Holiday Parade came about a few weeks ago. At that time we batted around a few ideas, and there were some grand schemes! Over time, we kept refining the ideas, until today when we actually put it together. The final idea was influenced by the t-shirts (no pix until after the parade!) that we picked up this morning.

We are about recycling and reusing, so Marco's banner from the first Lollapalooza at Lake Fairfax makes a return after 18 (!) years. With the banner, t-shirts hot off the press and looking around at what we had, the final idea was constructed.

We figured a way to 'carry' the banner (bamboo) and added more art. You can see what I am talking about from the two previous posts.

All very exciting, at least for the five of us working this evening. Tomorrow, we will add more doodles and make final preparations for the parade.

We hope to see everyone at the parade, 11 a.m. Friday.
