Haven't been posting much since I've been super busy getting Landscape of No Away pulled together though, I have been religious about documenting as I go along. 5:00 Saturday morning we'll be there installing..... If you can, come see it in person if not I will have plenty of pics and videos.

The first person to find the kiss in this collage will win a Skraptacular flower.

Art imitating life ?

Landscape of No Away will have an interactive component. We're playing and we want you to play....
Even my girls like the flowers : )

Okay, now let's talk about the giraffe. A little more tape than I was comfortable using, first off.

Initially, she was standing.....

Until the third layer of paper mache became too much for this girl to handle and then she just gave up on me, sitting on my pot of dead Geraniums. The kids at school never got a chance to decorate it BUT non-the-less, Skraptacular will be at Highbridge this Saturday to Hike the Heights and we've got a lot of fun things planned.
