04/05/06 Pick up Sticks?
Apr. 5th, 2006 10:55 amNo snow but a bit of rain. I'll have to check my rain gauge to see how much we got. We really did need it too. Today is colder and breezy.
Peter is delivering one of our Broadway Bears back to Broadway Cares for a function this Friday. It is our Queen of Hearts Bear based on the costumes used in the Richard Burton/Kate Burton "Alice in Wonderland" production which was aired as a show on "Great Performances" back in 1972. We'll then get the bear back and she'll join the others rather than go back to my studio.
I am thinking that the cold was a combination of cold and allergies. I took an antihistamine yesterday morning rather than the Sudafed I had been taking and the pressure went away from behind the eyeball. I think I am going to try that again today.
My goal today is to finish a pair of pajama pants that I have the material and pattern for which has been sitting in my to-do pile for a while. I need to go through my fabric stash for Saturday and the doll making class. I think I will have enough fabric left to make another pair of pants for Caroline. The first ones are for Ariel.
I am thinking of redoing my Doctor Who Puppets and adding 2 more to the set. I currently have 1,2,3,4,6,8 so I would have to remake 5 and 7 and added 9 and 10. I think it would be a good display at some convention. Maybe DragonCon if I get juried in. The hardest thing is going to be finding the hats for 5 and 7 and remaking 4th hat. I know a lot more about building these puppets than I did when I started. I would have to clean up the other boys since they have been through the wringer and a couple of them have thrown rods. Then there is the hand puppet set of Puppets for Hush (From Buffy) with a stage. And the manga character doll/puppet idea I have. I really need to get cracking on some of this.
I am grateful for a fertile imagination.
