Here is a little taste of our process for this project. I apologize for the quality- they were taken with my phone...
on the first day, Carlos and I went out dumpster diving and in search of supplies. We got turned down a couple of places, but perservered, finding the find of the century- the tiki hut- in a dumpster. It was a pretty nice piece!
We came back to the studio building and unloaded our finds and covered them with plastic in hopes nothing would happen to them.
Also while we were out, Carlos began to form the wonderful idea that we could use palettes to build the structure- this would prove to be a genius idea.
We soon all sat down as a group, trying to figure out how this thing was going to go together. Each of us had different ideas, but they ended up merging together to form what will be the final product.
To help troubleshoot problems we might have with the full scale structure and to help us visualize what we were going for, we built little miniature palettes from balsawood.
In the end, the model ended up looking like this- with Veronica peeping out behind!
