Above: Hummingbird Genki 12' Right: The Genki flying with a tail made by friends from my kite club, Peggy and Bernie. My idea for the graphics on this kite come form images from the Nazca lines in Peru.

August 2003 During the International Kite Festival here in Dieppe, NB, our kite club participated in a workshop by Robert Trepanier. This is one of the kites I made at his workshop. One of my favourite works of art is American Gothic by Grant Wood. For fun I added the Acadian flag...so I'm calling it Acadian Gothic. (Acrylic on Tyvek) |

My Della Porta was completed this in Feb, 2004. The Kitebuilder forum offered an online workshop. The pace was slow and easy and lots of fun and offered a great opportunity for anyone to join the class and work along each week on this project. We discussed the procedures and were able to give and receive feedback. I'm looking forward to the next project! |
