The goal of this project was to make a self-illuminated boat for the opening of the Tempest. It needs to be sturdy enough to tour, but also needed to match the materials in the rest of the design, which were fairly industrial. We first made patterns of stiff paper to find the shape of the […]

You guys are getting this on time-delay, because I’m using these posts to communicate with Emily DeCola, the designer, who is on a trip to China at the moment. So, once she reads and we catch up, I’ll post the pictures of the build. Just because it is interesting, I’ll also share the commentary that

Rob and I made sushi today, which is our New Year’s tradition. I’m off to work on the boat for a wedding, which will be the first time in years that I’ve stayed up until midnight. I’m strangely looking forward to it. Happy New Year!
I have a mild cold that I picked up from the germ factories that come aboard the boat to meet the Cinnamon Bear. It’s not bad, just a scratchy throat and fatigue–although I suppose the fatigue comes from other sources. Anyway, we carol as people are boarding. I enjoy this even though I’m scantily dressed

Sorry, the last couple of days I worked on the boat, read and wrote. Rob came home from IPNC, which is wonderful, but due to our schedules, we still didn’t see much of each other yesterday. Tonight we went out to dinner. A date night is always a good thing.

I worked for the first time in about a year for the Portland Spirit. I wasn’t on the Spirit itself, but on the Willamette Star, which is one of the small boats in the fleet. I was a waitress for an Eastern Orthodox wedding reception. It was a long, exhausting day in no small part
As a change, I thought I’d share a letter from my dad about my folks recent trip to London to visit my brother, Steve. London May-June 2005 highlights. Dear Mary,       We arrived on Saturday morning and Steve was visiting with Josh out at the airport so we just hung out at Steve’s place and
