This past week has really flown by.  It's hard (and also a little sad) to think that my time here is nearly half-way over.  My work still seems to be  coming along well, though.  I'm almost completely done with the outside walls and if it would just stop raining (two days and counting), I could begin the mud-building process.  Not all has been lost to the bad weather, though.  I've had a chance to work on some drawings and I've also been able to do a little more work with yarn,  thanks to the patience and benevolence of one of my housemates who let me wrap him up.  Needless to say, wrapping a human is quite a bit more involved than wrapping a twig, but three hours and trip to Wal-Mart later, it was done.  For the documentation I tried to stick to photographing the wrapped "object" in its original context.  Some of the pictures are kind of interesting and, if nothing else, I think they may serve as a jumping-off point for some further exploration of this idea.  I suppose all this rain might not be so bad after all!  Hope the sun is shining wherever you are.
