So Pittsburgh is hot, sticky hot. 1619 Broadway Avenue is hotter, though. And what does that mean? One thing: duct tape war! I decided it was the easiest way to hang my talking heads in Beechview. I tried a few bouts of hanging, securing, rehanging, resecuring, and the sun won every time. Duct tape melted, circle heads collapsed, repeat. But today I got the twine and needles out, and knotted & sewed the heads up to the window-frame, so fingers crossed I’ve finally bested my nemesis sun.
Tomorrow: 6 new talking heads! Now that I’ve learned my July lesson, no more duct tape, no more glue, nothing more that could melt, bubble, drip, or burst. Back to the basics — staples, jute and straight pins. We’ll see how I’m defeated next time…
