7 DAYS * 36 FAMILIES * 100 POUNDS

The title of the globe is:
7 DAYS * 36 FAMILIES * 100 POUNDS
This refers back to the begining of this project and the collection of the junk mail I used to create the globe. I realized that with restarting the globe THREE (YES 3) times, I covered the surface of the sphere at least twelve times and did NOT use all the junk mail that was collected.
***FYI: The surface area of the globe is roughly 80 SQ. FT. ***

IT'S FINISHED!!! and what a long strange trip it's been.....

HAPPY EARTH DAY!!!

I WAS INTERVIEWED ON FOX NEWS YESTERDAY HERE'S THE LINK:

FOX NEWS: THINKING GLOBAL

AMAZING PIECES!!!

This is some of the stuff that was on my globe. There are SO many incredible pieces here! I'm excited that I have a new project to created because of the problem the happened with the globe!

IT IS THE END OF THE WORLD AS I KNOW IT!

So this is what is left. My plan is to sand and prime tomorrow in order to star again. The thing about all of this is the the pieces i pulling off of the globe are amazing!!!! I already have so many ideas about what I want to create out of all the pieces!

WHAT IS LEFT...

IT KEEPS PULLING OFF!

So after much discussion with other artist, the creator of the globes and Golden Acrylic's tech help, I think what happened is a combination of no primer, the release agent on the globe, wall paper paste, magazine paper and water.....it just didn't jive together....SO, I spent Sunday pealing off the layers of paper.
