Urban Tapestry’s Interfilk package for FilKONtario

by Debbie Ridpath Ohi on April 2, 2009

Allison bracelet and Urban Tapestry CD

Allison, Jodi and I are off to FilKONtario later today, but I wanted to post about our donation to Interfilk, for those attending the convention. Our package includes:

Above:

- Silver aluminium chainmail bracelet handcrafted by Allison.

- A CD version of Urban Tapestry’s very first album, Castles & Skyscrapers, which was originally released as a cassette tape in 1994 and (I think) is no longer in print. The CD version (kindly donated by sound engineer Gerry Tyra, who did the conversion) is NOT COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE. We will be donating one copy to the FKO Interfilk auction, and one other copy to a convention we attend in the future. Cover artwork is by my sister.

This album was recorded at Sound Techniques Studio, and includes the following tracks: Donna’s Song, Two Voices, I’ll Be Fine, The Ancient Yearning, Urban Lullaby, My Jalapeno Man, Monica’s Flight, Desert & Forest, Cuz He’s A Guy, Margaret’s Lament, This Is For You, Overdrawn Credit Card Blues.

Other items in the package:

- Painting by me, in acrylics on stretched canvas. Here’s a close-up.

- Set of my letterpress cards from Blush Publishing in the UK.

- Selection of my self-published cards.

- A copy of my “Snowdreams” print.

- A copy of my nonfiction book, The Writer’s Online Marketplace, published by Writer’s Digest Books.

- A poster from Ad Astra 2001, when both Urban Tapestry and Robert Sawyer (the author guest at FKO) were both guests.

- One-of-a-kind blue totebag with a hand-drawn Urban Tapestry cartoon by me.

Hope to see some of you at FilKONtario this weekend!
