Seattle day Six, The Bumbershoot Piece…fin!
I managed to finish the Bumbershoot piece within about 45 minutes of the scheduled press preview today, which had been a personal goal. I am content with the way the form turned out as it seems to have elements of the eternal return piece from January, some parts of the Los Cabos piece and the interior exterior flow of the sticks element from Sticks, Straws, Sleeves and Lids also in January

Seattle day two
Jet lag be gone. I managed to get the general foot print of the Bumbershoot piece in place and now I just need to keep on trucking. I am hoping to finish most of the ladder work by tomorrow night, and begin integrating more of the woven panels for the lower part of the structure.
