New England in The Fall
 
   On Tuesdays, the museum is busy busy because of volunteers coming in to work on various projects.  They work right next to me.  Because I have so much left to do yet on the labels, I worked from home.  I worked very hard.  I am just constructing the first few labels.  A task I thought would be simple has turned out to much more complex than I initially anticipated.  I have limited words to get across an idea.  Having recently read a book about exhibit labels, I had much to keep in mind -- the big idea, who is the average visitor, what can the label do to engage the visitor, etc. At the end of the day, I had a few labels done, but I finally had a template and a PLAN which was holding me back before now.   I am one of those people that has to do a lot of mulling over and thinking about a project before I actually begin.  By the time I start, I have it all figured out and it goes together in a flash.  Let's hope that's true of these labels!
