Skeletons, Fire, and Webs, Oh my

Fred.

Well, exactly what I thought would happen with the panty hose, did. It stains darker than I wanted. BUT…I’ve been outvoted as Jen, Kyle, and one of our babysitters like it as is.

And, Alec has been on this Skeleton OBSESSION since I hung Fred. Wearing his skeleton shirts, playing with his lego skeletons, asking to BE a skeleton, telling us we have skeletons inside us, asking about the kitten’s skeleton, TALKING TO FRED, asking if he can give Fred a lightsaber to fight, asking why Fred cannot move…

Well, suddenly, Alec most decidedly DOES NOT like Fred anymore. Poor kid asked me where Fred was. I show him to the sliding door, where Fred hangs just beyond. “No, Fred doesn’t have yucky stuff on him”. Well, he does now, son. He does now…

The darkness does give nice contrast.

And for some reason, I really like the foot here.

Still mad the head got a bit messed up when he fell…, but I guess it’s ok.

So, Fred is a success with everyone but me. And I’m picky. I’ll just have to make another one to please only me, right? Maybe next year. Maybe later. We’ll see how it goes.

Now, I gotta figure out how to impale the poor guy. And light him…

The Island King Torch got another little workout for a picture.

Island King on the left, a regular torch on the right.

I’m liking the idea of just acouple of those instead of more of the regular variety.

And, just to show it off a bit, I fired up the web gun last night and re-webbed the chair.

As said before. Even I can make decent looking webs with this thing.

If it looks a bit barren, it’s because I only used one gluestick.
The little balls are from when we cleaned it off after the first time. Would make for some great egg sacks in a dedicated spider area, rolling up small balls and sticking them in the web.

Sure to have fun playing with this stuff…
