One thing about me is I’m always on the look out for some new ideas.
My wife and I were out shopping a couple weeks back, and I ran into this…thing…in a really oddball store. (yes, couple weeks, it was on my wife’s camera and took me a while to pilfer it.)
Now I knew instantly there had to be some way to incorporate something with that same feeling into Halloween. I also studied it’s rather interesting construction, appearing to be simply rope wound over a form with a wooden mask and shells glued into place. (and a price tag of a few thousand)
I snapped the pic and moved on, not dwelling on the idea.
Then, a few nights ago something strange happened. I was sitting here watching South Pacific. (yes, the musical) And, there came on a scene with something rather not at all like the statue above. And somehow, the vision here, mixed with my initial ideas on that statue, and some cutesy stuff one of the neighbors does, and the three have jumbled around in my addled brain to produce this rather interesting idea. IF the weather ever clears up for a length of time, I’ll show it to you as it’s just plain too hard to explain at the moment.
On the Stele front, after the weather tried to mess up our last update, we managed to save the panels, but weather has really delayed the continuation of the effort.
I did manage to get the panels attached to one of the Stele, however.
With any luck I’ll get the second attached, and we’ll be able to start on the fronts. I need LOTS more paper to make into mache, however…
