Making of the Lost Critter Project: Part 2

100 critters down... 400 to go.



The crew of the Lost Critter Project.

We met everyday this week and worked on the critters. There were plenty of jobs to go around... sketching, painting, outlining, cutting, gluing, labeling...





there are ten differnt critters. see if you can guess which is which..

The zonkey, yeti, cow, mouse, moose, squid, elephant, frog, cat and the raccoon which started out as a wolf but then we received a change request. However, 10 wolves we created before the raccoon change request was received. I believe this makes them collectors items.









This is a board of feet prior to cutting. The feet are probably the hardest parts to make, especially cutting them out. Also, keeping track of how many critters have been made and how many feet you still need to make can be extra tricky.





Here is a shelf of completed critters. They will sit here till next Friday.. day one of hiding...

Lost Critter Project Part 2



I'm sending the Lost Critter Proposal to Apex today. Hoping for 10-20 businesses to agree to a lost critter box. If it goes, that'll be 50 lost critters per box hidden in Apex this August.

See the Lost Critter Street Art Project to see how we did it with one business.
