The Giraffe Project-1

Now begins the giraffe. In this photo, I have pulled back part of the Somewhere Else curtain and put in a pipe which I have bent with the help of a pipe bender and three friends in order to define the curve that will help me figure out how to design the giraffe neck. She will be leaning out of Somewhere Else and looking around and out the glass door.

Here is a sketch by George that shows a child looking into the carousel building and the giraffe looking back.

And finally, the first step, gluing up the giraffe’s head. Behind the head you can see the basswood boards which will make up the neck. Through my shop window, snow today!

We’re launching a

PODCAST!

The Carousel of Happiness Podcast is your weekly hub of positivity where we’ll spin yarns and tell tales about the carousel itself, the people who keep it spinning, and the over 1 million visitors who are fundamentally changed as a result of their visit. Not sure how a $3 ride ticket can change your life? We’ll show you how on the podcast.
