My next community sculpture is a white angelic spirit, about two metres high rising up from the pedestal which is covered with marble tiles. Beneath the sculpture is an egg symbolizing the spiritual and physical gifts left behind. I have not decided whether the egg will be white or tinted. Nor have I finalized who the culpture will be donated to, although
I am building the under-structure ahead of time and the Winterstone layer will be applied with the help of anyone passing by at Guelph's Art on the Street event on July 13, 2013. Hopefully hundreds of people walking by will accept our invitation to mix and apply a cup of clay to the sculpture.

Thank you to Sonya Poweska, Guelph Arts Council Executive Director who has been very helpful in my preparations preparing for the event.
I need help with two major parts in this project. First, I need about six assistants on the day of Art on the Street to guide people mixing and applying a cup of Winterstone clay to the sculpture. Perhaps some of the participants who worked on the Paper Bag Princess sculpture will be available to step up to this new role.
Second, I need someone(s) to help build the base for the sculpture. Although I could do it myself, it would be much better to involve the public in this part of the project too. If you know anyone who can build the wood frame or apply marble tiles to it, let me know.
