Whooo-weee... it's been a while!

So, I just finished the Spring semester this Thursday and haven't quite gotten back on top of all my incomplete chores/projects/routines... but I'm getting there.

It was a really awesome semester in which I learned a ton about landscape design (basically, because I took a class which swallowed all my time and forced me to live in the studio), started dating a wonderful woman, acquired a slew of new plants, and discovered that I really love to make sculptures out of bamboo!

Let's start with the bamboo....

------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, one of the design studios I had this past semester required us to build a bamboo sculpture which would be the centerpiece at the JC Raulston Arboretum's annual Gala event. It was an Asian themed gala and our class voted for a design in the form of giant Asian dragon! Awesome.

I volunteered to be on the crew of three guys building the head (because it was to be the most complicated and, therefore, most fun!). The following is a progression of our construction.

It took about two weeks of late nights (and all-nighters) along with help from many friends, but we got it finished on time and it turned out to be wildly popular at the Gala. :D
