Concrete clouds! Whaat???

We made our foundation for the platform today. It was our first time working with cement and we really like it! At first we were going to try and replicate the form of boulders, but then decided to make clouds. We're happy with the change.

In other Falcon news, we're going to be doing our shadow puppet musical performance, In the Belly of the Bear at Better than Jam on Friday, June 4th at 8pm. Check our website's news section for details.

P.S. Yes, that's a snake head at the end of the cat tail. :)

Expedition, excellent!

The painting is complete! There's a chance that we'll add a few more cut-outs, but for now that's it. We took some time to explore the island while waiting for paint to dry. We found a playground and a vending machine full of snacks. The lunch truck (the only place to buy food) relocated to an unknown location, so finding the snack machine was sort of a big deal. On the way back to the studio Tara rode back with no hands. Damn, lady's got some skills. We gave the angry cat some extra long whiskers, and gave a couple of pigeons a pair of cool legs. Breezy.

Bright colors, big smiles

Primary colors and zippy personalities appeared, courtesy of some long overdue paint jobs on our wooden cutouts. Some highlights are the humpack whale with a grill, the flock of pigeons and the angry cat. We are still trying to come up with a new name for the overall project. We've decided to leave out the parquet floor and so "Parquet Homé" no longer seems to fit. We can't seem to agree on one, we may need to take suggestions or administer a poll. More on that later...
