"The Poles. Start With the Poles"
First I gathered a group of about 5 friends and explained what I was planning to do and invited them to be on the project with me. I gave each of them heavy white paper with a hole punched in the end and reinforced with tape and, for about ten days, we talked about the project and asked people if they wanted to write on the tickets. We hung these on the finished wheels before installing them on the headlands. There were about 150 of them.
The first step in building the prayer wheels was to talk with Max Salkin an artist friend who worked in several mediums and built interesting things. He had installed a "Cosmic Clothesline" off the headlines to commemorate the native people who had been slaughtered there about 100 years before. He said he would help engineer them. And he was about to make a trip to San Francisco and said he would bring back 4 tall bamboo poles. He also gave me some advice when I asked how to get permission from the Park Service for my work. "Put it up first and then talk with them about it." And that's what I did.
Here is my daughter Tamara ( 22 at the time) and me with the poles.
Finished. I added a small scalloped border for "weight" at the end of the shawl. It seems to hang better.

This prayer wheel is in the main part of the town. I sat and watched as people, going about their daily business, made a short detour to make a couple of revolutions of the prayer wheel (always clockwise) to gain merit for the next life.
