You’re so vane…

We made and added a weathervane to the top of the radio tower. It is a big corn on the cob- the corn part is dazzling gold glitter. And yes, the weathervane works! The invitation with performance dates will be posted soon...

The Great Outdoors

Today was the day. We finally put the sculpture outside and gave it some space. We are calling it "A Mountain Soars Over the Ocean." The day started off humid and grey, but as soon as the last screw was fastened the clouds parted and the sun was shining. We were happily surprised to see that our original sketches for the sculpture looked very similar to what turned out, that rarely happens. Jeff was doing a belly crawl below the platform attaching concrete clouds so the thing doesn't fly away in a sudden gale and I was monkeying around on top of the platform most of the day, stringing the flags into a rainbow. We have a few finishing touches left to the sculpture itself and we are piecing together some travellin' songs and puppetry to perform on "The Mountain..." Also, we are collecting various noteworthy and memorable sights to be featured in our binocular tours. Stay tuned for top-secret tidbits that may appear as we prepare for the performances!
