Had a new 1/4-size violin, inexpensive, that I intended for my rental fleet. The fingerboard was terrible, a ski-jump. Lacking any common sense at all, I pulled the bad fingerboard off, fit a new one to the fiddle, all as an excuse to try my hand at inlay.
A scrap bit of bone, left-over from a guitar-nut blank. I placed it in the center, but drifted a bit as I did the inlay, something to look for if I do this sort of thing again.
Added a bit of simple scratch engraving. Cut a bridge, put on a Wittner tailpiece and decent strings. Will serve some child well, I think.
But it's not a paying gig.
Exhibit: "Wonder" at the Renwick Gallery
Installation: "In The Midnight Garden"
Artist: Jennifer Angus
Information: Jennifer Angus configures flight patterns, bursting circles, and skulls of iridescent insects she finds in abundance in Southeast Asia. Mounted on dark pink walls, a color derived from cochineal insects of Mexico, her designs recall ancient crypts where the bones of priests are artfully repurposed as arches, flowers and stars.

Alco C425 - MHWA 3642 in Steamtown.
Train ride at the Steamtown NHS - we travelled about 30 minutes in nice old cars, making pictures from the window of the train.
Hosszú hétvégi kirándulásunk első állomása a számomra annyira érdekes Steamtown volt Scranton, Pennsylvaniában. Egy 25 hektáros területen régi gőzmozdonyokat újítanak mind a mai napig, és parkőrök kíséretében az épületekbe is be lehetett menni. A műhelyek után egy kirándulóvonatra ültünk fel, melyet a dízelmozdony felerészt húzott, másik részben tolt, a város, az állomás, és a mozdonyszín területén - közben az ablakból fényképeztem.
