Update #6 · Jul 11, 2012 · comment

Greetings,

It's taken a little bit but the new Altar to Our Lady of the Shining Silver Sun / El altar a la Señora de la Luz del Sol Plateado website is up, with images of the project that you were able to help make happen. Video is up next, along with working diligently to get the rewards out soon.

Here is a link to the website and some images below for you to snack on in the meantime: http://www.shiningsilversun.com/

Special thanks to Alexandra Regalado Lytton for documenting the piece and another big thank you to Eric Beug, Chris Cerrito, Jose Olivares and Sofy Yuditskaya who gave me a big push with technical help towards the end.

Hope your summer is going well.  Thanking you yet again!
