The ark project is close to completion. What is finished? The elephants, the giraffes, the pigs, the sheep, the lions, the burros, the chickens, and the ark. What still needs to be finished? Noah, and possibly some goats. I am running out of time, so we will see what more I can finish. Noah will be finished for certain...as for the rest...we will just have to see. Oh, I also have to paint the ramp, the stand, the additional wheels for the pulltoys. This project has been everything a good art project can be...scary (Will I really be able to make all those differnt animals?), fulfilling (I can, I can!), and on schedule (I think I will actually make the deadline!).

  1. Janet - Where is the ark going to reside?
    Is is a commission or for a show. Either way

    amazing! Onward!

  3. Hi Janet - Please take lots of photos in Chico! What are the dimensions of the piece? Most of my energy this past month has
    been with after school kids helping them construct a fantasy model of the Isabella Stewart Gardner courtyard complete with their
    own mosiac..will put some photos on my blog
    when it is finished....then hope to return to
    start work on creatures inspired by trip our Uruguay.
