Once completed and documented, Herd destroyed the example piece. University of Kansas theater and film professor Kevin Willmott and student Kyle Hamrick mounted a camera to a silo and shot time-lapse footage as Herd and assistants created the piece. The video, which included an interview with Herd, was shown during Tuesday's press event in Dallas.
Herd used only rocks and mulch for the example piece. For the actual gifts, Herd would create a permanent work that incorporated hardscape, native perennials, herbs—maybe even shrubs and trees.
An entourage of 15 to 20 people who have helped him on projects through the years would assist him on the commissions.

It took Herd two weeks in July to create the 2500-square foot, Southwestern still life pictured in the catalog at a farm east of Lawrence.
Retailer's Christmas catalog to include Lawrence artist
LAWRENCE — For a starting price of $160,000, Lawrence crop artist Stan Herd will create an original work of agricultural art to suit your soil, climate and interests.
Herd uses indigenous materials to produce works ranging from 160-acre, plowed portraits to one-quarter-acre, stone designs.
Herd's Art by the Half-Acre is one of 11 fantasy gifts in the Neiman Marcus Christmas catalog, released Tuesday.
"Some of this stuff is a little highfailin' for a farm boy from southwest Kansas." Herd told the Lawrence Journal-World Tuesday in a telephone interview from Dallas.
He said that promoting his in a cata log might have bothered him years ago.
"I've decided money isn't a bad thing," he said.

BOSTON — An AirTran Airways plane was evacuated at Logan International Airport yesterday after an engine caught fire.
About 31 people evacuated AirTran Flight 771, headed to Philadelphia, on emergency chutes, said Phil Orlandella, representative for the Massachusetts Port Authority, which operates Logan. A male passenger complained of back pain and was taken to a hospital, Orlandella said.

AirTran mechanics believe that residual fuel ignited when the engine started, an occurrence he said was "not uncommon."
The passengers were being rerouted on a US Airways flight.
