Description So here is the tree with the cheese and crackers in place.
There was more crackers to hang so that will be done later on.
He's still sitting on the crate bottom but Joyce said it will probably be placed permanently early next week.
It was fun because all of the people at the cheese and cracker party each hung a cheese and/or cracker on the tree.
I was sweating bullets wondering if it was going to arrive while we were there but lo and behold, it got there the day before we left so all was well.
It was an amazing experience to be there on the island but the icing on the cake was seeing Joyce and everyone react to the tree.
The cheese and crackers were sculpted, molded and then cast in two part resin.
It was fun because I sculpted a triscuit and goldfish among other shapes.
We went to a cheese importer and took digital shots of labels
photoshopped them and then glued them to the cheese blocks. I was really happy with how they turned out.
The stems are copper wire super glued in to all the cheese and crackers.
Under the leaf clumps are stainless steel eyelets that the wires hang on to.

Hi, I want to let you know that Mr. Cheesencrackers is blooming! ([link] )
I have visited Na Anaina Kai and took some really cool photos there. One of my favorites were of Your sculptures! It was the first time I heard about you. Simply, Your work is amazing! Since I wanted a Mr. Cheesencrackers for my own I made an altered version of it. Hope you find it interesting. And answering a post from ~Spanglerart Oct 19, 2010 (Tony) now Randy has got his first pic of the guy!

RandyHand In reply to apernak [2013-01-11 19:54:42 +0000 UTC]

Oh my gosh, that is so cool!
You did such a wonderful job with that photo!
Thank you so much for enjoying my work and for such a great compliment...
Isn't Na Aina Kai an amazing place?
The last time we were there we stayed for over 2 weeks. The Lunchtime Chaos piece hadn't arrived yet so I'm excited to finally see it installed in person.(Possibly this spring)
The first time we were there, we stayed for 2 1/2 weeks and were seeing Na Aina Kai for the first time. We were anticipating the arrival of Mr. Cheesencrackers and it ended up being delivered on the day before we had to leave. It was awesome to have Joyce open the crate and see it for the first time. We had a Wine and Cheese and Cracker party that night and there were all sorts of volunteers and board members toasting to this piece. I brought the cheese and crackers and made sure every one got to hang a cheese or a cracker so it was a lot of fun. I love how they landscaped it (all the other pieces too!) It looks like it belongs and that what's important. Thank you again for making my day! All my best to you,
Take care,
Randy

This is so fantastic! So, two part resin for the cheese and crackers, but what is the tree trunk made of? This is brilliant. I'm so glad I got to see it.
