Richard was nice enough to let Carissa and I skip Art Blocks so we could finish our project. Sarah and Sam had to go to track at that time.
Sam and Sarah were soldering monsters, nearly completing all but a few of the pinwheels. They had constructed a base out of chicken wire, mounting it on an old-school bike wheel. The wheel was already on the standard base Richard issued out. We finished up the grunt work, finishing the pinwheels and securing them to the chicken wire with zip-ties. Afraid that the wire would wobble in the wind (alliteration!) we (more alliteration!) took some of our MANY cut coat-hanger wires and used them to stable our wire. We were most successful.
Sam and Sarah came back around five and we put on the finishing touches. When Sarah and I were left, after cleaning up, we decided that because if everyone found our project silly why not make it sillier? We spray-painted our creation in rainbow…and that made it look a LOT better. And probably more efficient.
All and all, a productive day. I was at school from 8am-7pm.

to elaborate on what Rachel stated so succinctly, Rachel and I stayed after school on Thursday to finish soldering the wires and to mount the twelve pinwheels on the chicken wire frame that Sam and Sarah created the day before.
it took forever.
Sam and Sarah finished their track meet and came back to work on it more. i ended up leaving before the rest of them did, so even more work was done. i congratulate them all.
oh, and Sarah was brilliant enough to think of spray painting them to make them artwork as well and wind generators.
