Alison Woodward and I just finished re-making one of the awesomest things I've worked on this summer. I don't have a lot of time to make stuff for myself in the summer because I have an awesome real-life
job where I make fun things for Public Dreams Society. We made a giant Jenga and Twister game under the direction of crafty mastermind Alison Therriault to be rented out and sent to various festivals and events. They were awesome but the materials we used didn't hold up to the abuse so we had to repair and eventually re-do them completely. I had to throw the Twister away but I'm going to be making a new one soon I guess!
We just finished the Jenga today though and it turned out awesome, we tried it out and took some photos and I think I need to get my stilts on to play it next time.

This was the Jenga before at a Canada Day event. It was covered with a thin plastic material that got mauled by children but worked well for a day |

Giant Twister! |

The spinner broke but this guy was making it work and they were having lots of fun! I love to see things I make have fun out in the wild. |

We covered the foam blocks with outdoorsy-type fabrics |

this is my castle |

Wheee! |
You can rent this shit for $200.
I recommend wearing stilts if you play!
