It’s official- I’m a Guinness World Record holder! Ok, so really the event took place last week, but I didn’t get official notification until this week. The event took place at Trinity College and was organized by a number of student and non-profit groups working together to raise awareness about mental health in Ireland. The record was for “Most People To Write A Story”, the previous record had 838 participants and our record now stands at 953 participants! The organizing group began the story by depicting the main characters and initial circumstances, then over the course of 12 hours each participant wrote one sentence- the next line of the story until time closed. The story has been transcribed and is now officially published, check out http://www.seechange.ie/index.php/news-and-events/272-see-change-breaks-guinness-world-records-title. I went with Eoin McDonnell from Project 51 and our lines are near the end of the third-to-last paragraph since we got there near the end of day. It’s all pretty wild and funny, and I guess it’s another item to check off the bucket list, haha; I made my nephew jealous at least.
On the studio front, I managed to salvage my filigree sample piece. It’s finished and ready to be used as a hat embellishment. So now I’ll have to have a think about what kind of hat I want Martha to teach me to make… Pictures to follow some time later.
