I will be there as well as Husband, who will be trying to blend in and not look like he's wearing a costume. He will be in costume though - a very subtle costume...ha!

Ha Cathy, That's why all black attire is great...everyone will be in "costume" and comfy if they don't want to take it to the other side!!

Ladies - Looking forward to creating something cool to add to your black attire! I can't wait to go to the flower market tomorrow to see what interesting black flowers I can find - check the blog in the p.m. and you can get a preview!

If I were to attend in blackface with a Yes We Can button on my shirt would I be a racist?

Re: Cirque du Noir...a new twist on Halloween

I'll be thinking very dark thoughts the whole time. Is that close enough?

Re: Cirque du Noir...a new twist on Halloween

I'll ask the stupid question - What's "live art fusion"?

Does it require audience participation? If so, I need to prepare Husband, who as a GURPS guy is already reluctant to get into costume, never mind do some "participating"!

Re: Cirque du Noir...a new twist on Halloween

Cathy, HUSBAND is in the clear!

Art Fusion: Artists collaborate on shared artwork. So, they each start on a piece and after a few minutes, move on to the next. 6 Artists are rotating around 6 easles. The guests are safely spared the pressure of performance, while the artists create and innovate right in front of everyone.

***Tell your husband you could dress him like the folks in feathers on
http://www.ostrich.com/action/index.html..........creative black is safe and feather free...if you want it to be.

The artwork is being submitted for the auction........it is great! Can't wait!

OK, my fingers are completely stuck together with floral adhesive and black and purple glitter, but I think it will be worth it!

If I can get unstuck, I have a mind to make myself a floral cocktail ring... :-)

Re: Cirque du Noir...a new twist on Halloween

I am sure they look amazing! Can't wait to see tomorrow. We worked all afternoon on the other flowers too, so I have a abundance of glitter...everywhere.
