Final Day of Install

Adding the final touches and a few last minute fixes.

Testing out the new camera ledge so that you can take a picture of yourself with the giant mushroom!

Ryan does not give much input for pretty shiny things but tries to help anyway

To Do list completed!

Kitten!

We had an adorable cat test out our miniature house.

Install (continued)

Many more hours spent in the gallery lead to great pictures!

Time distortion!

7 Signs That We Are An All Girls Group

As if you haven't already figured that out yet...

1. Roses make us happy



2. We imagine a wedding dress when cutting out the stalk's covering

There's an outline of a mushroom on the white stuff, or a wedding dress pattern depending how you look at it.

3. We take the time to pre-cut our wood so that the camera gets our undivided attention

4. We design beautiful doll houses

You would never guess how many hours were put into this house.

5. We like arts and crafts

Glue, paint, and fake moss makes Kyrie smile (when they're cooperating)

6. Dream nails

7. The imagineers are also known as:

Install Day

Today was stressful, to say the least.

Fortunately, we found out that our group dynamic is still great under pressure. Jordan was actually at the UWAG from noon to eleven today! Thank you so much!

We started by taping the outline of our objects and the doors (from which the walls are made) onto Ivan's sexy floor and then began to assemble everything.

Watching others do the work is how we work ;)

We finally got the walls up and we're planning on bringing in our objects tomorrow. We'll keep you posted on how easily we'll get an 8' tall mushroom to fit into a mini-van without any damage.

Everything is standing on its own! Success!

Awesome Video

Check out the first in the series of videos documenting our experience building these exhibits. Yay for reality shows!

Murals and stuff

Time remaining until install: 15 hours

To do list:

• Finish giant mushroom
• Build 7 mushrooms
• Make table collage
• Paint table
• Make clouds
• Mount didactics
• Redecorate 2 chairs

...and I'm sure there's more. Ahhhhh!

At least our wonderful murals are done thanks to the late hours Kathy and Jordan spent in the paint room.

Working in and around the planning studio

There was a whole lot of running around today. We went back in forth between Michael's, E5, ENV, and Wal-Mart. 

Julie pretty much had her head in the clouds because she pointlessly went all the way from ENV to E5 and back because she forgot a certain key to the painting room... 

Christina had some fun with power tools.

That's right, you better watch out!

We're really spending a lot of time on these mushrooms. Only 2 days to go until install, yikes!

Seems like we're living in here

Papier Mâché

We think you need pictures to visualize the scale of these paper mâché structures.

Our apologies to the planning studio for taking up so much room.

Tick Tock

Countdown until the Opening: 9 days

Can you guess how this picture is related to dreams and Alice in Wonderland?
