OBJECTS:  Inflatable Doggy

Inflatable Dog does not exist yet, but he is coming!


link to "insideout"
moovy.

link to "tubewave"
moovy.


The idea: create a dog by cutting and taping plastic sheeting together. fill him with air to bring him to life!
but how to figure out the shapes of the pieces of plastic? hmmm....


lets get a stuffed animal from value village.
I dont think "joey" the stuffed animal likes the look on ricky's face.
oh no!
Watch a moovy of joeys head turning inside out. Not for the faint of heart.
the plan
hey! joey lives!
woof.



A few weekends later.....a sunny day in the park comes along....


topher and ricky werkin
kerstin and ricky werkin...
with some plastic.



Night falls and the last seam for the body is taped together. Its too late to inflate it though. But we have to inflate SOMETHING!


the tail
ack! kerstin is getting sucked into the fan!
the [wave]
Watch a moovy of a tubewave!

And we have some visitors from the park


Whats next? We'll see. The body is done, but has not been inflated yet. We're planning to get together in the last week of May and build the head and attach it. And then: BIG DOG.

Want to help? Want to build one yourself? We are also planning a day to get people together to do this "inflatable park" with sculptures all over. Interested, or just want to see joey fully inflated? drop us a line: rickyATvisibleDOTorg, topher.
