Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on August 25, 2010.
Well, the .graffiti train quilt . was installed successfully and stood strong for the 2 weeks of Artprize, despite 50+ m.p.h. winds and rain. Today I depart to go de-install the piece and bring it home.
If you chose a reward (tee-shirt, earrings, etc) and filled out the address questionnaire, they will arrive soon. Expected ship date of rewards is October 17th. Thank you once again for financial support and enthusiasm! I could not have done this without you.

This project really is coming together. My daughter and I leave in just three days to travel to the installation site.
Here are some sneak peek photos of what transpired over the last 4 days...
--the outer wall is complete
--the structure is rock solid (finally! with big help from Andrew)
--zippers have been installed to help the wind move through the piece
and still to come in the next couple days:
--more zippers, bringing the total to 35
--a roof!
--sewing the two ends of the wall together
--attaching the roof to the wall
--cutting the second set of PVC bones, then color-coding the entire inside structure, preparing reverse directions, and (GULP) dismantling and packing it up!
once again, thanks to each of you for your participation and enthusiasm.

Here are a few shots from last night's and this afternoon's activities--heart-shields that will encircle the outer wall of .graffiti train quilt.. These will be stitched on before the roof is attached to the wall--hopefully on Friday!
Thank you for making this possible!
I drew, printed, and cut stencils for the graffiti portion of the project all day and had some good results. Here are a few sneak peeks at the second batch: (for size reference, the Frida Kahlo portrait is 19x19 inches).
More updates soon!
Hi All!
Just a quick update--the panels are all constructed and will soon be attached to the larger "body" of fabric then appliqued/tagged and stenciled.
In the meantime, I will be spending this Labor Day weekend cutting all sorts of stencils to embellish the outer walls of the project. I will post photos and a link to my Flickr site next week.
thanks again for your interest, enthusiasm, and support!
