Cards and Conducting

Journal Entry: Wed Jul 6, 2011, 11:49 AM


Anyway, announcement: I plan to launch the Rainbow Cards scheme on 20th July with the fully-done-up CSS, commission info and FAQs. The commissions will be taken on a slots basis, opening on July 22nd. All the cards bulleted below will be available as cards (single or in bulk), as will the designs be for recolouring. I will also be taking commissions for original designs.

There will be a small revamp of the gallery, with the "SAMPLE" mark being placed on the images to help reduce the chance of you just stealing them and printing them out yourself.

I hope that some of you may be interested, or that you might spread the word; these might not be what you're interested in yourself, but I'm sure that there are parents with little kids who think they'd be just right. I may make a facebook page to make it more accessible - I will also be hosting images on my formal tumblr.

In other news, I conducted the orchestra for the Wizard of Oz at school for the best part of five hours today.

WHAT. I HAVEN'T EVEN CONDUCTED ANYTHING BEFORE I JUST GOT ASKED TO DO IT BECAUSE THE TEACHERS WEREN'T THERE. I'M MEANT TO BE PLAYING VIOLA. I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A SCORE I ONLY HAD THE VIOLIN I PART.

I haven't physically hurt this much in YEARS. Having a heavy cold does not help.


Love and prayers,
Lutra xx

Ah, thank you - I think we need all the well-wishing we can get! The proper conductor was back today, which is good, but all the teachers were telling me how pleased they were with me and the violinist who was helping me out.

I think I've stopped streaming, and now I just need to get my voice back properly and get my nose un-gunked. :)

Yes! We're doing the stage production of the Wizard of Oz and because our school has the musicians available, the students are providing the orchestra too. It wasn't too much of anything because I had a job to do and I had to help run a long, important and stressful rehearsal. It took me a little while to settle down with it, and I was more worried about messing up the tempo changes and getting the players to play in time than about whether or not I looked silly! And no, I didn't have a baton - for the most part I just used my hands, and a pencil once or twice when I forgot to put it down before we started.

I'll try to - it should be back to the normal conductor tomorrow onwards, I was just stepping in to help. I don't think that the staff will decide that I should conduct the whole thing with less than a week's notice! And thank you - we may need it.
