I'm finally in the studio with a zillion ideas running through my head.
Halloween & Vine is looming on the horizon. (9/28). Can't seem to simplify my sketches because these particular pieces will move. One friend makes a suggestion ("What if some of your pieces moved?") and my mind sets to complicating my life. Our brains are designed that way and I got a good dose of it.
I decided to start using up my 70 cigar boxes. Don't think that I'm planning to use all of them up this year...or next year...or in 10 years. There's a bunch of them. I'll give some away when the opportunity presents itself, but until then I have a towering wall on one end of the studio.
Here are a few with the initial hole cut. All the working parts will be inside except for the crank. These are ear-marked for Dia de los Muertos and I finally figured out the "skin" on these. I'm using several Mexican items for inspiration and needless-to-say, these are going to be bright, gaudy and fun! In the back, you can see a Squasha scene. She and her family are decorating for Halloween and laughing at the silly gourd dog's wacky hijinxs. More to come soon as I gather supplies. Keeping off the computer will be a boon to the Runamuck Studio production, but I promise to keep you informed. See ya soon!
