Magic lantern show


With Jesse's help, I cut heat resistant parchment paper into narrow strips and mounted them onto dowels so that in class today we could create new semi-animated images configured to my magic lantern I got from Carle Steele a few years ago. I'd tried to do a bit of this with wax paper last year but I didn't have the entire structure and I was also worried that by rigging a 150 watt light to the projector, I might set it on fire. Today worked well, although the paper remained too thick.
