Site Inventory is a process which the designer uses to assess the context and Site Analysis is the interpretation of the forces influencing a site. Conceptual design is an iterative process which entails the designer to test, make and repeat until a refined design emerges. The methodologies implemented during the design development range from sketches, models, doodles, etc., thus, leading into finished documents.

  • West Texas Fiddlers and the Buddy Holly Center "Hardy Pioneers" And
    Carr: West Texas Fiddlers and the Buddy Holly Center West Texas Fiddlers and the B “Hardy Pioneers” and Amarillo’s Panhandle Fiddle Contests By Joe Carr In the period from 1928 to 1931, at least six fiddle contests were held in Amarillo, Texas, most under the auspices of the Tri-State Fair Association. Contemporary newspaper re- ports offer interesting insights into the workings of the contests and the activities of the contestants, giving us a fascinating glimpse into the lives and fortunes of numerous early Panhandle fiddlers, including noted musicians Eck Robertson, J. T. Wills - father of Western Swing legend Bob Wills, Jess Morris, and others.1 Census statistics indicate just over 15,000 Amarillo residents in 1920, and the town had grown to a city of 43,000 by 1930.2 Amarillo’s older citizens who noticed the changing landscape may have had fond memories of the old days, and the Old Fiddler contests gave them an opportunity to enjoy what was perceived as a fast dying art. The first All Panhandle Old Fiddlers Contest in Amarillo was Loyd obviously felt an appeal based on memories of the “old sponsored by the Tri-State Fair Association and directed by Dr. days” was the best approach to draw a crowd.

Therefore, I am using this plat- form to address some issues that have come to my attention. Since the cost for out-of-town memberships to our Senior Center went up in January 2020, there have been a few miscon- ceptions that have come to my attention. First and foremost, the one rumor that I would definitely like to address is the story going around that the Prospect Town Council raised the dues of our out-of-town members because they are trying to “get rid” of the non-residents that come here. The story goes that the Town Council is trying to keep our Senior Center strictly for Prospect residents only. Nothing could be further from the truth. I value the out-of-town members who come here. I feel they have contributed significantly to the growth of our Senior Center. Many of these members run programs here and volun- teer in a number of different capacities. They are my lifeline and help me in ways that I could never repay them for. I and the Town Council members would never want to “get rid” of them. I will tell you point blank why the Town Council decided to raise membership dues for out- of-town members.

  • What in the World Wednesday #5? Wray Museum Young Historians Fancy Eggs
    What in the World Wednesday #5? Wray Museum Young Historians Fancy Eggs #2000.395.16 Collection of 25 handcrafted “Boutique” Egg Dioramas The month of May is national egg month and what better way to celebrate the egg then with a miniature diorama. Thelma Maureen (Funk) Schmidt enjoyed crafting even though she suffered greatly from crippling arthritis. She made bread dough dolls, and sewed doll clothing. At the Wray Museum we have a collection of 25 fancy egg dioramas. Each charming miniature is planned and hand-built with incredible attention to detail. By using all types of traditional and some not so traditional crafting supplies, she created a variety of scenes inside her eggs including Native Americans, covered wagons, farm homesteads, gardens, and holidays. She won many grand champions and best of show ribbons at the local and Colorado State Fairs. Her collection of eggs was donated by Frances Smith. Eggery the Art of Egg-Crafting The humble eggshell, which in most homes ends up in the garbage can, is the basic working material of a devoted and enthusiastic group of crafts people. Using a variety of craft techniques, these egg-crafters, egg artists, or eggers, transform ordinary eggshells into charming ornaments. The outside (and sometimes, the inside) of the shell is decorated with tiny jewels or beads, by decoupage techniques, by gilding or etching, and even by embroidering. Although they are most often used purely for decoration, they can also be functional items such as jewelry boxes, fancy pendants, brooches, toothpick holders and tiny vases. Many egg-crafters use their decorated eggs as tree ornaments, table toppers, or give them as gifts.

  • Ridin' Old Paint: Documenting the Canadian River Breaks Fiddle
    Wilkinson: Ridin' Old Paint W uddy Holly Center Pioneers”“Hardy Fiddlers and the Buddy Holly Center • Texas est Ridin’ Old Paint: Documenting the Canadian River Breaks Fiddle Tradition By Andy Wilkinson I did the best part of my growing up and got the best part of my education around the cowboys in the Canadian River Breaks of Texas. We lived on a relatively small outfit, but we were surrounded by the big outfits-the Bivins Coldwater Cattle Com- pany, the Killgores, the upper Matadors down the road. When we went to Channing to get supplies cowboys still tethered their horses and walked the short main street, and the air was filled with the sound of spurs jingling in unison with the clop of bootheels on the old boardwalk where the cowboys strolled in full regalia. When I was very young I thought of these cowboys as gods and wanted to walk and talk like them, be like them, know and live by their ways. The Breaks were full of music. My four sisters sang like angels in the shape-note harmonies of the old gospel music. I would discover that there were many fine musi- cians, poets and even laymen scholars steeped in the classics among the cowboys. We were Primitive Baptists and I was in my teens before I could devise my itinerary in 49 such a way that I could go to the cowboy dances. I had already learned from them some of the old songs, but when I heard their string band ensembles playing the old fiddle music, I knew I would always be a better listener than performer.

  • Trashmagination Podcast #83 – Egg Shells and Cartons
    Trashmagination Podcast #83 – Egg Shells and Cartons Welcome to Trashmagination, a podcast about reimagining trash. I’m Carla Brown. Today we’ll talk about the creative reuse of egg shells and cartons. My family puts egg shells in the compost and we give our egg cartons to a local farmer who reuses them. We also sometimes rip up our egg cartons and throw them in the composter if it’s getting too wet in there. If you want to keep it simple, those are great options. But today I’ll share a bunch of other ways to creatively reuse egg shells and cartons. Egg Shells Creative Reuse Let’s start with ideas unrelated to making art. In the kitchen, you can grind up egg shells to scrub pots. You can also use egg shells to clean a glass bottle that you can’t reach inside. You crunch up the egg shells, add soapy water and swirl it around to scour the inside of the bottle. You can make sidewalk chalk from ground-up egg shells mixed with flour [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r07- m70t34A]. You mix it into a thick clay, roll it into logs, and then wrap it in a towel or dry it in a silicone mold. You can grow baby plants in egg shells [https://www.hellowonderful.co/post/diy-eggshell-planters/]. You can also put crunched up egg shells in your garden to discourage slugs and snails from eating your plants. So now let’s talk about ways people make art and craft from egg shells.

The Easter egg Richard: For this week's podcastsinenglish.com we're talking about Easter egg customs. Jackie: Yes, and the first Easter egg custom has to be the giving of chocolate eggs. Now, Richard, as a child you got chocolate eggs, didn't you? Richard: Oh, definitely. Normally in a big box and often they contained sweeties inside, the... the chocolate egg. Jackie: Chocolate buttons. Richard: Chocolate buttons or... Jackie: ...sometimes there are even smaller, little chocolate eggs as well. Those are fun. Richard: ...or smarties. Things like that. Jackie: And what many people in the UK look forward to between Christmas and Easter is the sale of Cadbury's creme eggs. Richard: [laughs] Very, very, sweet. Jackie: But fantastic, lovely chocolate on the outside with white and yellow inside so it looks just like an egg when you open it. Richard: Mmm, very sweet. Jackie: Mmm, very nice. Um... it's not just chocolate eggs though, Richard. Normal eggs, chickens' eggs, hard-boiled eggs er... are very popular. Especially um... egg decorating and painting of eggs. Richard: Yes, they often have competitions, don't they, for children to decorate their eggs. Jackie: Mmm, I remember um... decorating an egg as a child and making them lots of different colours. My father painted um... eggs before we cooked them so when we had them in the morning we'd have little faces or... or things on the eggs and that was always fun.
