This year, the Green Living Show booth was designed and built in a wonderfully integrated, smoothly flowing, artistically  intuitive way, with myself, Glen Byron & Melinda Zytaruk, of the Fourth Pig Workers Co-op.  Creating a simulated outdoor and ‘indoor’ space with a shimmery canopy supported by natural wood logs, the booth had a calming, atmosphere that was admired by many people walking by with big smiles on their faces as they took in the space created.  We also used various subtle, energetic space balancing tools to enhance the space, as well as our own selves.  Our booth was a stark contrast of all-natural, non-toxic materials to most of the booths in the show.

Glen built the curved straw bale wall mock-up weeks in advance, bringing  it, full scale, to the show and adding  a little earth plaster touch up at the last minute.  His natural building craftsmanship  is truly beautiful.

Melinda and I spent hours taping down the natural reed rug so that it wouldn’t be slippery to walk on during the show.  The double sided tape required to use by the show management was very hard to peel!

I designed, cut out, sanded and stained the ‘flat-packable’  plywood tree’s, with a little assistance from Glen.  These trees were designed to be used for future events as well, emulating the tree in the soma earth logo or the curly pig tail/golden spiral of the fourth pig logo.

Glen seemed to dance as he set up all the log posts & beams, taking intermittent, meditative, skateboarding breaks while getting more supplies or tools.

We truly made a magical, sacred space, together.  Even the fairies visited our booth!
