this is a mural that tom and i made saturday on the wall of the girl's lunchroom. their school supports a sister school in Kenya, so this was a tribute to their retiring principal who began the program 8 years ago.
it starts about 6 feet off the ground, and is pretty huge on the wall. i really liked doing a collaborative project with tom, while someone watched the kids onsite. i really disliked being on a very tall ladder. the lion looks a little testy, but 12 hrs is about our limit for wall-painting fun. it is covered by some sheets, and we get to rip them off on thurs for the surprise. (surprise: to strike or occur to with a sudden feeling of wonder or astonishment, as through unexpectedness) haha!
the kids have to make it through 4 lunches pretending they don't know anything.
SOUP OF THE WEEK: orange carrot
