Chalk Walk 2011

WE WON!!! Okay to say I'm happy about that is an understatement :) We were just hoping to place this year or get an honorable mention so it came as a great shock to win 1st place :)

Here we are getting started at mapping the square out and getting the basic outlines of the blocks.

Then filling in the base coat layer.

After we had the base coat done we went home for the night. The next day we spent coloring, shading and perfecting :)

To get the best 3-D effect you had to stand on the X.


From other angles it looks kinda funny...

After we were done with our mere ten hours of work on it we both went home for a bit to shower and take a nap. Then neither of us could stay away so we came back and hung out near our square where we could listen to people compliment it as they walked by. It made us happy :)

The next day we came back prepared to fix whatever the night away had messed up and found our square in perfect shape this year, so that was nice. So we spent the day socializing with other squares and counting down the hours till judgement time. When the time finally arrived we learned of our winning and were ecstatic!
