Little Otsu Installation COMPLETE
2010 | August 25
(about 1 year ago)

It took a little longer than anticipated but the previously mentioned Little Otsu window project is done. Window quilt! I designed and printed five different patterns

(these prints are available as a set through Little Otsu: BARGIN!)

Then it was on with cutting hundreds of equilateral triangles using an extra cool plywood template

Lots of scraps were of course left over (these will come in handy later!)

Piles of triangles!

Then it was a very hot six hours of window installation.

All the aforementioned scraps were used by the wonderfully talented Jessalyn Aaland in creating a collage on both sides of the Little Otsu sandwich board. This project was awesome because it took place ON THE STREET. You know what happens when you’re sitting on the street gluing scraps of paper onto a sandwich board: weirdos are drawn like magnets.
