Easel kluge?

[Michele Rushworth]

You could hang a weight of some kind down through the middle of the three legs, suspended from the apex of the easel. If the weight is just a bit off the ground it has the most effect, I believe.

As for what to use as a weight: photographers use little black cloth bags filled with sand to weigh down their lighting stands. Our local professional photographers supply store, Glazers, would probably sell them and I know they have an online store too. Hand held weights for exercising would also work but be a little wierd looking perhaps.

Michele,

Sounds like a good idea. I'll try it out in the yard this weekend, as it's windy from a cold front blowing through.

Thanks,

Holly

Use flake white which contains lead.

A few of those big honking Flake White tubes, tied around the necks should do just fine. Then if you want to do some touch ups during the show, you'll be ready for that too.
