Another Dolphin's Tale

Another Dolphin's Tale

This is Penelope, one of the famous "Clearwater's Dolphins" smiling for the crowds during the public exhibition "Pod at Pier 60 Park" in Clearwater Beach, FL. A project conceived of and created through a partnership between the  Clearwater Regional Chamber of Commerce, http://www.clearwaterflorida.org/ the City of  Clearwater http://www.clearwater-fl.com and the Clearwater Marine Aquarium .http://www.seewinter.com/  This is her story......

Penelope's life began in Nebraska where she and the rest of her pod were lovingly sculpted by the artists at Icon Poly www.iconpolystudio.com . Penelope and three artists ( Bonnie Bowman, Sarah Butz, and Kathleen Fulmer were then sponsored by Dr. Zena Lansky and Warren Rodgers.

 After a long road trip,she arrived in Clearwater and was picked up by the artists on July 13th, 2012.

At Bonnie's studio Penelope Sarah Butz(left) Kathleen Fulmer (center) and Bonnie Bowman get acquainted.

Won't she look lovely in magenta, purple, turquoise and ......

 Yes but the challenge is to create a design with textiles, while constructing art that that would with stand Clearwater Florida’s bright sun and summer showers and... She has to be ready in only two weeks!!!!!! 

Is that Possible?
