Gishwhes day 3 and 4
Aug. 14th, 2015 11:08 pmI feel like most of my gishing this year was me trying to convince people to do stuff for me. (show up at a certain time, lend me their classic car, give me a semi-truck to paint) etc, and it seemed to affect my output. *pouts*
Anyhoo, here is what Julie and my husband and I got up to Monday and Tuesday
#6 Design and operate electric or gas powered knew and elbow scooters. When you wear them, they must glide you down the street on your knees and elbows only. The device must be at least four separate pieces not one or two platforms that you're lying on.
Geez! Rules much? Hubby designed this one and Quincey was our guinea pig. :D

Your car colour is uniform and boring. it's time for a paint job. Paint an image of a celebrated musician riding a unicorn on the hood or door panel of your car. It must cover the entire hood or door panel.

item#22
schools, hospitals and prisons are dismal places that are in desperate need of art to brighten them up. Get permission from one of these places to create a giant Gishwhes themed wall mural.

This didn't get installed until thursday, but we did the priming and designing Tues. (and got permission from the daycare/school on Tues.) We actually just did the mural with black outlines so that the kids could paint it with washable paint and then rinse it off and repaint it again. Like a giant colouring book. This photo doesn't show the mural that well, but we thought it was a great photo.
item#158 Goes perfectly with item #22!
Let's see a side by side before and after picture: transform a vacate lot into a community garden. you must be in both images.

This one was 100% Julie. She got permission from the daycare, then drove to a garden centre, pleaded her case and was given a shit-ton of free flowers and plants! yay! The next day she went back to the daycare and the kids and teachers all helped her plant and dig and make the whole thing awesome. GO JULES!
item# 132 make an action movie trailer . The main star: a pot roast.
Seriously? So ghetto it's hilarious. And Dianne's friend provided the fantastic movie voice for it. Keep in mind that we only had 14 seconds.

item#140 Paint or draw a celebrated historical figure on a glass slide; but paint them really small. Submit two images side by side: one with the glass slide in your hand and the other showing what your portrait looks like magnified 20x under a microscope.
Thank goodness I got a digital microscope for xmas!
