hi to all in group 8

[twiggy]

just wanted to post so you know i exist and am ready to "create" -- today i'm building a crate for a large twig and plastic baling twine piece that goes to NM for a non profit awareness of starvation project call "The Cradle Project". has been rewarding until now

so what's everybody up to? how big? a theme? total randomness? more later suzanne

hey fellow scatterds
any thoughts on size or theme. I'm ok with express box or bigger either one.  maybe our scatteredness for a theme.?

we got fully organized a little bit later than some groups, but we should be ready to rock.

Let's take some pictures of our elements as well. I want to document the evolution of each piece for inclusion on the website, as well as interpretive material (and possibly a catalog) for the show.

These pictures will also serve as a heads up for future exchanges. We can begin to anticipate, and discuss options for the development of the work. Hopefully we can inspire each other as well.

Keep it small. I don't mind paying a little to ship slightly larger pieces toward the end, but we can't get carried away.

As for themes, I would like to make a wall piece or two. Due to our size and weight limitations I thought we can also play with some ideas incorporating "flexible, fold-able, expandable and roll-able" might be fun.

keep the ideas coming...........

Regarding the "keeping it small" theme:

After taking a look at the USPS website, it appears that there is now a 20lb weight limit to their Flat Rate boxes:

Hope you're all doing well.
