Melville Community Textile Art project

I went and helped Juliet and Iris with this today. They were printing images on fabric with the computer and needed people to help the participants edit the images they had selected.

Some images had been emailed, others needed to be scanned. It was fascinating to see the things people had brought along. One of the ones I worked on was a menu card from BOAC for a trip from London to Auckland that the parents of one of the participants had made. The trip had about ten legs, most of two to three hours length, and a meal was served during each stage. The whole trip took more than 24 hours, not counting time spent on the ground.

I wish I had kept a copy. We will spend about 23 hours travelling when we go to the US in July, but we will probably only be fed 3 times, and our trip has only 2 legs: Perth to Singapore, Singapore to LA with a 3 hour stopover in Singapore and night flying to LA. Long distance travel is much more appealing now than it was then.
