| Eastridge has been
fortunate enough to be involved in several community art projects. Click the project
names below to read more on each. |
| Pictured right is the new
"Community Garden" mosaic sign which Eastridge created and donated to the West
Middle School Community Garden in Ypsilanti, where she is a plot gardener! The piece
is waiting further consult with other gardeners, who happen to have skills in carpentery
and engineering before grouting and mounting. New pics will be posted when the
sign goes into its final place! |
