This morning, Marlyn &amp; Alex hosted us for a fabric extravaganza. Joanne, Peter, Jon &amp; Ophi joined them to cut and rip fabric strips, which we tied to wire and made "chandeliers." They'll help light up and glam-ify the egg dome at Huevos Ranch Eros.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YU1okf22nQ4/SoidzBYiSPI/AAAAAAAAAEk/HMWdhUoNsOA/s1600-h/chandalier_making_2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YU1okf22nQ4/SoidzBYiSPI/AAAAAAAAAEk/HMWdhUoNsOA/s320/chandalier_making_2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370716055509551346" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YU1okf22nQ4/Soidyz7_RiI/AAAAAAAAAEc/mf2ouJAno_A/s1600-h/chandalier_making_1.jpg"> <img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YU1okf22nQ4/Soidyz7_RiI/AAAAAAAAAEc/mf2ouJAno_A/s320/chandalier_making_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370716051900155426" border="0" /></a><br /><br />(Left: Ophi &amp; Joanne; Right: Jon &amp; Marlyn)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7228032623716894564-7980181902603552725?l=camphuevosrancheros.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ophi Eduthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07749254839070733213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7228032623716894564.post-46644887588429699952009-07-21T11:15:00.001-07:002009-07-21T12:26:27.353-07:00<div style="text-align: center;">I've stitched together a few stills of the work the seattle folks did on Sunday and Monday.

Semi translucent outer fabric will allow a inner "yolk" to be seen from afar.
