Everybody was involved in our friend Rita's retirement party. My job was to make the party decorations. After visiting the site where the celebration would be held, I realized that any decoration needed to be simple and bold. Here I am working on two types of garlands. The top one spells out the title of the event and can be read from a good distance away. The garland on the floor consists just of circles in different patterns. I also worked on a visual time line or bio of Rita's life, scanning in old photographs and hanging them up like on a clothes line.
Rita's bio hangs from a cloth line

As a special surprise Rita's couch was moved from her classroom to the park where she could sit and enjoy the well wishers.
We baked and decorated 300 poetry cup cakes as dessert for the party
