Market palace

Market day went well, we had heaps of people come in which was good as we were worried people would not be able to find us. To deal with that problem we had posters of our event around massey, the posters had tags for free goes on them, which we received a few of them today which is good. We also with the other groups had paw prints going towards the dark room and a big sign showing where it is.

We had a table at the beginning of our stall with three bottles as an example in it, there is a black light in it too so we put paper inside the empty bottles to make them glow. Above the three bottles are recipe cards for the punch that Hayley and I designed, so customers could see what flavor they won therefore change if they have allergies or else be able to remake the drink if they like it. There is an A3 instruction list in both corners of the table that Hayley made.
Above the our stall were 11 rows of 5 paper cups as decorations, Josh came up with the idea of fairy lights above us however we found the light neutralized the black light, therefore I looked into the paper cups posted earlier on. I couldn't find normal paper cups therefore I had to purchase plastic cups and stick paper on them, this turned out effectively glowing in the black light. On the wall next to us Josh came up with the idea of the stringy wall with white wool that glowed, which turned out very effectively. Izzy designed the shiny white Hoopla sign above the light box which was just high enough to get the dark light on it. There are three bottles on top of the table to show re use of decorations, one with notes in it (as posted earlier on in the blog) One with red roses in it (ties in with the wonderland group- painting white roses red) and one just to hold the hoops. We also had piles of the recipes that Hayley made.
We had a black curtain next to the stall which Izzy made and we all helped to place in the right area, it closes off the game space without hiding our stall which was good. Jarrod had the idea of a white crepe wall to create a walkway to help with the flow, We tried this out but all agreed this was too much, instead to create a flow we worked with the cat group on putting paw prints around the walkway of the room.
We all helped with the vinyl and the pulling the vinyl off of the bottles and jarrod and josh did the sandblasting for us all. 
We made 95 drinkable bottles, (5 of them broke or leaked) however it was no enough for how popular the stall was, so we began running out at about 1 and ran out completely at 1:10pm

The stalls in the dark room all had minimum things to give at about one so we all decided to half the price of entry. With how popular our bottles were people kept coming in therefore we continued playing the game, by using previously sandblasted bottles and decorations bottles until they were all gone too, these games the bottles were not sanitized therefore each bottle one we explained how to sanitize if people wanted to re use to drink out of. All bottles were won none were left behind.

Setting up the room

We set up the dark room today, more to be posted tomorrow on everything. We discussed whether we wanted the white crepe paper curtain but decided against it here are some photos of the set up, more to be posted tomorrow on all of them

Music

We have been organising music with other dark room groups, Crytstal has made a spotify list for us which we have been adding music too. Since we are in the room we are away from all of the music in the great hall therefore the groups in the dark room thought its would be nice if we all contributed to a music playlist for the day

Tshirts

Today jarrod and I stenciled the tshirts, we just did the top of the shoulder to the sleeve. However we quite like the simple strip on the sleeve. Tomorrow we will test how this glows in the dark.

Black light

Hayley, Jarrod and I went to meet with other black light groups today where we decided we can't use fairy lights as it will work against the black lights (Our table is still fine). We are now looking into hanging paper cups in the style we were looking at with the fairy lights, to give some more light/colour to the room as well as decorate and bring the room together nicely. We tried the foam cups from the cafe upstairs but it did not work. We will look at making the paper cups soon.

Bottles all lit up


Jarrod and I just shot some photos of the bottles on top of a light box. It looks best with a piece of card covering most of the surface, but the brown bottles become a little hard to see.

For the stall we think it could either be long and fairly narrow, or a squarish shape. 2x2 meters would probably be enough space. 
The glow rings work well as hoops, but they need to be doubled up so that it isn't too hard to throw them around the bottles.

Week 2-3 Posters of ideas for market palace


Hanging lights got the most votes, to build your own unique hanging light to take home. Targeted at students for cheap unique ways of decorating their flats.
Build your own Terrarium got the second most votes, this idea will be making terrariums out of recycled bottles.
Make a wish got the least vote, to make a wish put it in a jar with 'fairy dust,' and other little bits and pieces.
This would be done as a experiment like the ice challenge on Facebook. For a while it will be donating to charity, we take a picture and connect it to social media, and then after have it just for the donation to  charity. Will this make a difference? or is donating now for 'self' purposes.
