I've been busy with paper mache all day, just like the rain. The type of mache they use here is this super thick rice paste used for cooking (it's pre-made), just add water and that's it, no cooking. It's ready to go, it doesn't go bad and also super strong.
Unfortunately, I woke up around 7AM this morning because it was raining really hard. I had a little panic attack because we've been working outside underneath a seemingly structurally sound and large awning. But allthe outdoor roofs here (and the office) have leaks. Also my sculpture was close enough to the edge of where the ground was covered, that I was worried if the rain was falling at an angle, all my work would be ruined. So, I ran out in the torrential downpour, kinda wearing my PJ's still and found Jeri to be there! She had already wrapped up all three of our sculptures. whew.
Jessie and I just laid out some major tarpage, bricks and a fortress of tables to help protect our ridiculously heavy clay molds from the big typhoon that is hitting in the middle of the night. They said it shouldn't be bad because the center of it will not be near Taipei. We shall see.
