...and speaking of being on the move..... PRESENTING:

The Gypsy Wagon Project

I am in the process of formulating the details for an ambitious project for Spring of 2008, "The Gypsy Wagon."

I'm imagining a wagon structure, representing YOUR home/caravan. We each would design our wagon the way we WISH it to be, were we traveling a la gypsy/Capolan style. What objets d' art would we accumulate to ourselves? how would we define rooms within the wagon, colors?

The Capolan Wagon Project ONE-Invitation:

We will be creating a structure, whose MAIN purpose will be for showing YOUR vision of a Capolan Wagon. Also, you may want to make this structure able to contain the works for Wagon Project Two (more on that in the next invitation.) The medium is WIDE OPEN-meaning if you are a fabric artist, your work can have walls of fabric. If you are a collage artist, you may use your favored materials to create your structure. For Project One, there are going to be few limitations in regard to materials. My only expectation is that I will ask that you 'go the distance' in terms of your own artistic efforts. Raise the bar on yourself. I will be seeking to have this project published, so, bearing that in mind-you will want to do work that reflects YOUR artistic sensibilities and talents. This project will NOT be for trade, but I WILL want your piece mailed to me after the due date so that I can take uniformly smart pictures for upload to the website and for "tickling"
the eyes of any publisher. Size is limited ONLY in that, you will need to be able to mail to me and me back to you without going to large expense.

I am looking at a July 1st deadline for completion of this project. Be watching for Project Two for another aspect to this endeavor.

There has been MUCH excitement about this project and I feel excited as well. Travel on with us, in fashion with your OWN wagon.

The Capolan Wagon Project Two-Invitation:

This project concerns the interior of your Capolan wagon. It will be for exchange with others and we will have a choice of several template shapes from which to work. I am imagining that the templates will be either 5x7ish OR 8x11ish. That part is still being determined.

For this leg of the project, you will be asked to envision the interior of YOUR favored wagon. You may wish to have your wagon reflect your personal dwelling place as the Caravan travels its miles. You will want
to show us the room and things you'd surround yourself with.

OR, you may choose to make your wagon one of the communal wagons ie: the "Healer's" wagon, or 'Fortune Teller.' IF you choose to make a communal work, I will ask for you to send me privately your choice-in hopes of avoiding 15 Fortune Telling wagons. :)

This piece can be 2D, with collage, paints, etc and you may add doodads. Basically, your favored medium. I may seek publication for this as well as Project One structures but that will depend on the quality
presented. I'm looking at a due date of July 1st. I hope you'll want to join us in our Caravan of Creativity.

The Capolan Caravan is
On the Move Again

Once again, Capolan is pulling up stakes and traveling to sites (and sights) unknown. If you are a sojourner looking for a group of like minded artists to exchange your wonders with, come along with us.

Now being accepted are art forms of all kinds, from dolls, fetishes, artistamps, collages, structures to the as yet unimagined. Send in your works in multiples of 5 (plus one piece for the Caravan Museum at Redquarters) and receive back as many. Join when you can, pass when
you must. Also required, a Priority postage stamp and a self-addressed label. For those joining from other kingdoms (out of US) include enough postage as was required in YOUR mailing to Redquarters. Send in your
works by the last day of each month. For address details, contact me privately, thanks.
