Fun activity: guess how many pencils

We have a treat for you today... a little game of 'Guess how many IKEA pencils Adam Cruickshank had to cart out from IKEA in order to make IKEA Head Dress'.

So, the person with the closest guess to the actual number of pencils used (to be confirmed by Adam) will win a mystery prize! It could be anything, it could be something, it could be nothing...




Of course in an ideal situation, a truly committed competition entrant would come visit Adam's show in Gallery 3 and fastidiously count out the number of pencils... can't be bothered? No worries! IKEA Head Dress is pictured above.

Adam also has a very cool artist book to accompany his exhibition that is available for sale at the front desk. Printed in a limited edition run of 200, this artist book is a bargain at $5!

To participate, leave a comment with your approximation.

Closing date: Sat 6 March (the last day of Adam's exhibition).

We will announce the lucky winner on Monday 8 March!

I will also estimate that there are 1001, one thousand and one pencils.
Would love to see this piece of work but have to travel from Wandiligong, North East Victoria and cannot afford too.
