Failure, restart, and an orchard.

I had the panicking realization I had no costume yet….

The first attempt at a mask….well, I got about halfway through, and decided I just wasn’t feeling it.

Felt too much like I should be dancing around musically pondering the location of my brain.

So, we scrapped that and moved on to attempt #2.

This involved sculpting me a face, and molding the burlap to it, then sewing it all back together.

The mouth will glue onto my own so that it moves…

And, some donation from the neighbors has led to my creation of ‘The Orchard’ in the back yard. Normally just a big flat lawn, we now have ‘trees’.

Trying to twist some of the straighter trees up a bit by binding the ‘green’ branches back onto themselves for a few days.

We can only hope the leaves all drop in time.

What, exactly, I’ll end up doing with the trees, I’m not entirely sure just yet.
