SFZero Giftwrap by Rainbow Bright

July 30th, 2007 3:37 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Gift wrap something that is permanently fixed in a public space.
Label it such that the specific recipient knows it's for them.

I have been in my hometown of Derry, PA (population 2,842 = boring) for the past week and I will admit that there is not much to do here. Since you can only play so many board games before you want to poke your own eyes out, I decided to enlist the help of my sister and brothers to complete a task. They were pretty hesitant at first....it's sad to say, but there isn't much organized ridiculousness happening in these parts. The thought of gift wrapping a see-saw for fun did not strike them as an everyday occurance.

Anyway, I had to work pretty hard to prove that I was not crazy and after some pleading, I convinced those pesky siblings to come out in the 90 degree weather and make a memory with me......

this is great!

also, i really love that "children's lungs" sign...i've never seen a depiction of lungs with giant biceps and no other body parts before! and on a public sign! amazing! also those lungs are so pink and grotesque, just really, really great all around. i could go on but i won't. i'll just think about them more later.

I like how you used different colors together. It's great that you got your sibs involved, too.

It would have been absurd not to use different colors.....I'm Rainbow Bright!!!! ;-)

You deserve *extra* points for wrapping your little brother. A beautiful project, through and through.
