4/6, Sunday. Expecting rain, went to Bainbridge Island Museum of Art for
the last day of Dogear Festival, all about print/book making.
This is in conjunction with the current Power of the Press exhibition.
When we arrived, this flamboyant author was reading her book. The rickety chair she was in is made of real books.
I like the artsy book exhibition. The variety is amazing.
Got a print of "The Mountains are OUT". We were not allowed to change letters.
There was an "edible book" contest. Only ~6 contesters.
At 1pm, there was a lecture by Cassandra George and Joey Holmes of the Suquamish Tribe’s Cultural Resources Department’s Lushootseed Language Program.
They talked about the Lushootseed (Puget Sound Salish) Alphabet and its role in Lushootseed Revitalization, Lushootseed Books, and Traditional Narratives.
Quite interesting. They are both good speakers. 43 letters, representing distinct sounds.
It's a nice walk along the waterfront over the Overlook Walk to the ferry.
The new boardwalk is almost complete. Swings are still locked. The new waterfront is coming along nicely.
Riding on the ferry is always pleasant.
We took the 10:40am ferry to, and 3pm ferry back. $10.25 - a good deal. I remember paying $7 about 20 years ago.
It was pouring when we left the museum.
