Summer Assignment
Hey, 3-dimensionoids,
After the last meeting, the what-are-we-going-to-do-now committee got together and decided that our first meeting in the Fall should include a “First Annual Merkel-Fish Derby”. Create a found-object fish over the summer and bring it to the Sculptors’ Group meeting on September 6th. While you’re at the beach, collect flotsam, jetsam and used syringes. If you vacation in the mountains, collect seed pods, pine cones and power-bar wrappers. If you’re stuck in the city, forage through your neighbors trash for discarded CDs, kitchen implements and Chinese take-out chopsticks. Then assemble your goodies into a fish sculpture. There are only three requirements; (1) it has to fit through the door, (2) it has to be safe, and (3) it can’t be like anyone else’ s Merkel-Fish. David Bradley has kindly volunteered to volunteer our own dear Merkel McLendon (who, by the way, missed the last meeting and is therefore the butt of this event) to judge the entries. The winning sculptures will be displayed at the Guild throughout the month of September.

great deal on an anatomy book
Figural types,
When I was in Barnes and Noble yesterday (the one at the intersection of Route 17 and Happy Valley Road) I saw that they had three copies of Cyclopedia Anatomicae by Feher and Szunyoghy on the clearance shelves marked down to $7.45. I think the original price on this book was about $45. I bought mine at $15 and have used it extensively. It's all detailed black and white drawings (over 1,500) of bones and muscles--and not just human. There are 160 pages on humans (I used those for "Abby"), 118 pages on horses (using those now for "trois"), 29 pages on dogs, 18 pages on cats, 18 on pigs, 22 pages on sheep (I used those for "grazing rights"), and 15 to 20 pages each on apes, bears, deer, cows, camel (now there's one you don't see every day) and lions.
This is a great book at a rock-bottom price. The way that Barnes and Noble works is that you can walk into any store and tell them that the book is available for $7.45 at the West Happy Valley Road store and that you'd like to purchase it for that price. They may grump a little, but you should be able to get it at that price.
