The Dream Rocket Project

I just finished my submission to the International Fiber Collaborative new project: The Dream Rocket.

--For those that don't know the International Fiber Collaborative is a non-profit organization founded in 2007 by Jennifer Marsh. The IFC orchestrates great projects like The Gas Station Project I participated in. -People from all over the world submitted fiber panels based on the worlds dependency on oil, these panels were then stitched together, forming a quilt which entirely encased a gas station.


The Dream Rocket is another version of wrapping: the 37 story tall Saturn V Rocket replica standing at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville is going to be encased. 





 
The fiber panels submitted are based on the idea of dreams, but what dream that is is up to you. My submission is based on the idea of peace, on the logo of people holding hands around the world, only my version is of trees, and their branches touching surrounding the earth. 


You'll be able to see the completed project in 2011 at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center, Huntsville, AL, but until then you can check my submission out at the Earlyworks Children's History Museum, Huntsville, AL and at the Great Explorations Children's Museum, St. Petersburg, FL.
