News and notes.

Mostly been working on the BYOB project lately. Still not finished.

I did get some work on some lab equipment done, but the pictures I “took” turned out to not have a card in the camera….DOH!

While making a hand for the BYOB, though, I came on something.

I’m REALLY liking the whole disembodied hand look there. It just cracks me up. That one is presently hanging on the computer monitor, and I have 2 more drying. I think I just may make a bunch of them to give to some folks. Heck, might even sale one or two.

EVERYTHING is now Bob as far as Talia is concerned. Anything with a remotely skull design…”BOB!!!” Michaels yesterday, when another child of similar age was being traumatized by the Halloween section, Talia was in complete wonder at the little Halloween village that had an animated Bob. Occasionally, “Fred” escapes instead of Bob, and she knows Fred from Bob at home, but I’m not sure what is triggering the difference in the stores.

I do want to highlight one portion of the BYOB here now, before it’s finished. Making of a skull.

First, you need a skull to copy.

And, just cover it in tin foil.

Mache over half of it, and peel off.

From bob

Repeat for the other half, and slap those two together, presto, you have a skull. Little clay to fill in the details…

Works on the jaw, too.
