On this bright Sunday morning we will knock out stage two of the “Lets put some clothes on our GIANT Red Green monument”.
So far pants, shoes, undies, and a belt have been dressed on our GIANT.
Starting early at 9am members leading the build will be at the space to help with the dressing of the Red Green Giant. Using seven foot sheets of Tyvek, duct tape will be layered to make up the tartan pattern that is seen on the common flannel shirt Red is seen wearing.
So if you’re just waking up checking your RSS feeds, head on over to the space and lend a hand. We’ll be here most of the day.
The Red Green build continues to make forward progress. Tuesday we brainstormed the shirt and decided we need to use a very specific tartan for the flannel shirt. Bonus points for all who can identify. To the left is our test pattern.
This is all duct tape and backed by a cool material called Tyvek. We are actually going to build a giant shirt for our giant to wear out of duct tape.
Keep checking the blog for more progress. We will be working on the statue on Saturday and Sunday. Please stop by to help. Members and non-members alike are welcome. Some back of the napkin math says we need 128 squares like this to the left. Hope to see everyone there.
