IVY'S DAY

Thursday, April 23rd, was Bring your Daughters
and Sons to Work Day. I have a second cousin
once removed who is 11 years old and a budding
fashion/costume designer who came to work
with me to check it out.

Down in the village for morning meeting,
introduced to the village people and getting the
lay of the land.

Beginning her project, to completely hand sew
a woman's coif. The coif is a head garment to
keep a woman's hair covered for modesty.

Although she doesn't usually do much hand
sewing, she picked up the techniques quickly.
Love those young minds/hands, like sponges
they are!

A sewing bee with Auntie Betty, who comes over

to volunteer in the colonial wardrobe with us.

Gangsta girls on our way out to lunch.

Very impressed with her all-access-pass! We

took the secret pathway down to the village.

Ivy took her coif home to continue to work on

it and when it's finished I'll post pictures. We're

already making plans to have her come back

again over the summer for another volunteer

day. Looking forward to it!

PRACTICE SPACE

Seventh Room's practice space is located in an
old factory in Whitman. There are some
interesting building details.

A board covering some opening in the wall of the
actual studio space.

Another board on the wall, remins me of a Rothko painting.
Trash in the corner.

Broken mirror

Common area outside studio. Looks comfy, don't it?

Cool old door.

Exposed pipes, all over the place.

Graffiti, no band place would be complete without it!

NO FUCKING AROUND HERE

Exit.

The Loft. I think they must have had parties there at one time.

Peeling paint, another old building feature.

More exposed pipes.

An autographed electrical outlet.

Dusty footprints on frosted glass.

Heavy door hardware.

Axis of ROCK!!!!

MARTHA'S VINEYARD

We went, we saw, we had a swell time!
On the boat over to the island.

The bay in Vineyard Haven where the boat
comes in.

This is the lovely view from our room....the
bathroom! Great little Inn, though.

Ocean Park, across from the beach, in Oak Bluffs.

On our rented scooter, doing an "eyeball-flattening
25 m.p.h."

Fun and games...





We are huge fans of the movie JAWS, so there
were a lot of references. "Amity, as you know,
means......"

A day of shopping, and we found just the most
ridiculous, and somewhat obscene, souveniers!

Waiting for the bus after shopping.

I went for a lovely morning walk on the beach.

Walking to catch the bus back to Vineyard

Haven.

Sculpture in somebody's lawn along the way.

On the boat back over, making plans for the

next trip!
