The Cosmic Messenger
Maker Faire Bay Area 2024
October 18th-20th
The Cosmic Messenger is an interactive sculpture designed to spark joy and creativity. This life-sized Pegasus unicorn, lovingly called Peggy, is crafted from sheet metal and steel rod, adorned with rainbow-colored glass chakras and a rainbow-painted mane and tail. Peggy's body is coated in black chalkboard paint, inviting you to get creative with chalk messages. At night, white LEDs illuminate the glass, while color-changing LEDs create a rippling rainbow effect on her wings, mane, and tail. This year, Peggy sports a new mermaid tail, giving you even more space to draw, and offers postcards for visitors to send messages through the cosmos. Blending artistic beauty with interactive fun, Ms. Peggy is a whimsical, one-of-a-kind magical beast sure to bring smiles to all who meet her.
