The Ouijatotters last hurrah. Thanks to all who came out to play. It was so much fun seeing everyone laughing and screaming in delight. That's why we made it. Crazy, simple fun. #ouijatotter #artshantyproject2016 #2016onice #artshanty @helloindustries @eugeneahlberg (at Ramsey County Beach)

Team INSIDE worked on more props for the inside of the shanty like finishing painting and stuffing canvas fish and doing more work on the diorama

The answer is yes! This is our last weekend. It's beautiful out here. A little less ice, but much more safety on the beach. Come say hi. #ouijatotter #artshanty #2016onice #artshantyproject2016

We pushed, pulled and dragged Shanty town to the beach today, the ice was unsafe. We will keep them there and be open next weekend for one last hurrah on the beach. #artshantyproject2016 #ouijatotter #2016onice #artshanty @helloindustries @eugeneahlberg (at Ramsey County Beach)

January 17th Workday: team STRUCTURE worked on more finishing touches of the shanty itself like trim, frames for the comic and a cage for the heater. The little heater gives off quite a lot of heat so we’ll be warm out on the ice!

Martha worked on making the diorama that will go in the window of the shanty. It’s a shanty in a shanty!

January 10th workday included lots of FISH PAINTING! Beth, Pat and Cory painted a ton of the canvas fish. Rua the dog helped too!

Break time! Yummy stew and a growler from Insight Brewing for the crew. After dinner we had a meeting to plan our next work day. You can also see the prototypes for the enlarged comics. It’s going to be so cool- we can’t wait for you to read them out on the ice!

Collecting artifacts- Coleman Lantern to see at night, authentic reconstruction of a Shetka Fishing Rattle Can- one of Grandpa Shetka’s fishing inventions (Learn more in February- we will show you how it works!) and Grandma Shetka’s bowling trophies. Grandpa and Grandma met at the bowling ally so of course these need to be in our shanty!

Team PAINT worked on painting the trim and more pieces of the shanty like the roof which you can see through the window!

January 3rd Workday: the group split into teams to work on different parts of the shanty. This is team FISH working on making canvas fish based on the walleye prototype made by Rose!
