A bittersweet weekend.
It saw the departure of a landmark.
From Year of the Charr |
Charr marked numberous landmarks for me. First segmented build. First use of burlap, which has become a staple. First use of conduit, which is also a staple.
However, he was BIG. And took a sizeable portion of my available storage. So, it was early in the year that I decided Charr must go. I had plans to go in and salvage the conduit and anything else I could muster. Toyed with the idea of giving him one final year. But, he had to go.
From Halloween 2009 |
Aside from Fred, no prop has garnered more comments than Charr.
It was a hard decision to let him go. However, I am pleased that Charr will live on, he has simply moved considerably south, finding a new home in Diablo’s Dome, a new local haunt starting up this year. There he will join Steve, and a host of my skulls in providing entertainment.
Shortly, a brand new Chimera will be heading south to join them as well…
Then we’ll get back to our regulardy scheduled oddities.
Farewell, Charr! Happy Haunting in your new home!
