The ending to a long project. Hold onto your breath!

This is the final link to the chain of events that have brought me to this time art project. Hold onto your breath and take 11 minutes to watch this to see how I ended my Time Art Piece for my class assignment. Tomorrow, I get to show the video with the blog to the class as a presentation. :)

On Friday, we took a little trek out to Chuckanut Drive in the south end of Bellingham, WA. over to hike on the trail to Clayton Beach while the tide was out and coming back into shore. It was a gray with clouds and windy, but not too bad with the weather to get this adventure under way. (Just to let you all know, I did pick up the left over paper reminents left behind.)

I'm really looking forward to hearing feedback from others, so please do leave comments here or on the You Tube link. Thanks so much! This was a great experience & I'm so glad to share it with friends. Also, I'd like to give a special thanks to Jeffrey Cunningham, my love, who helped me take the video and encouraged me through out the process.

There are only a couple of days left...

This is days 29 and 30. I've finished making the last batch of sugar and the top of the building. After the time consuming working process for the roof this week, I decided not to make it as realistic as I could.

Day 29, making sugar cubes:



Day 30, finishing the roof:





Thirty days of actual work (since January), 1 1/2 bags of sugar (7.5 pounds), and 5 bottles of Elmer's glue later...



We have my own version of a Greek style building made out of sugar cubes. :)

Now, tomorrow I will do the last and final stage of my Time Art Piece. It will include a drive in a car, a hike through the woods, and a surprise at the end caught on video. I only hope that I will have a break from the rain. :)

It's the last week!

It's hard to believe that it's the last week of the project. After finishing the building, I'll be doing the final stage of the time piece for the blog, pictures, and video. Be sure to keep on looking at the blog to find out how this ends. :)

Day 27:







Day 28:





Now, it's time for a roof! I had to use a cardboard base to stabilize the sugar for the roof of the Greek building.







I'm making more sugar cubes tonight for tomorrow's final steps in the roof. Then, on Friday this weekend, I'll get to go on a trip to do the fun part with the Time Piece. :)
