city progress, and working with helpers

Posted on November 12, 2011 by thirdstoryies
Some days I wake up ready to dive into a project, and that kind of motivation is catching.  It can go either way.  I can find that my “helpers” aren’t really so helpful, or I can just embrace the fact that we’ll all make a royal mess in the effort and clean up later once the work is done.  That’s what our Saturday morning looked like.  M was working in the basement, and the rest of us pulled paints and crayons and markers and paper and then cars? out and the mess began.  This is what came out of it.

One very tall building, the world’s cutest parking garage and even a three dimensional revolving door (E’s stellar idea).
I also made a helicopter which I might float above the building with a wire, but for now it’s sitting there on the canvas looking cute.  One park left to go, and then a final pass to see if anything is “missing”.  
Earlier buildings and links can be found here.
