Halleluya!

I finished the container design on Friday.  It was a hard push....scrambling to find tools like a drill, a saw, the right screws....and helpers to make the interior screen for the project. 

Many thanks to Yiren (from Oklahoma/Taiwan) and Ba and Anna (from Italy) who helped me with the design of the Chinese character "good" on the doors.  The characters just were not reading from a distance on the doors.  We thought about covering the entire door with the silvery vinyl tape and cutting out the letters; thought about painting a white line around the letters, or a black line; had settle on the possbility of painting a large circle around the character---Chinese way of setting off a character.  But finally Marc (from Spain) came in with some black electric tape and suggested I outline the characters with that....oila!  It works.

(Pictures did not come out but will upload some when it stops raining!)

Then onto that dastardly screen whose design had been changing daily....if not hourly over past week.  Many thanks to Richard (New York) who helped me construct it and settle on the best way to install it in the back of the container. 

I ran all day toward the finish line....finishing about 6 pm....just in time for beer.  I only had a wide-angle lens to photograph the interior.....thus the bowed lines.

In the end, this labor of love, my 'true home', became a labor of communal love.  I am so grateful to my dear freinds for their assistance on that last day.  xxxooo

More news on the festival event coming soon....
