puppetmakerI showed the Alice in Wonderland Artist Trading Dolls a little while back.
The other two challenges were Merpeople and a Harry Potter Bookmark.

(Photo of my Monster Bookmarks to go with the Monster book that is described in Harry Potter. Brown fur, lots of sharp teeth and many eyes)
Which will be off today in the mail to the various people that they need to go to.
Yesterday was a very interesting day in a good way. We went to the city to spend some time with Gwen. We took Caroline to the American Natural History Museum where she spent time admiring the dinosaurs, the gems, and the artifacts in the Northwestern Peoples exhibit (Think Inuit). She had so much fun hopping from exhibit to exhibit. She and Gwen went over the information cards about the various exhibits she found interesting.
We then went to see Caroline’s first non-Disney musical, Wicked. Neither Gwen nor I had seen it either. It was quite good. I was lukewarm on the idea because I didn’t think much of the source material. But I was impressed. I agree with Peter that the musical solved a lot of problems with the original. The staging was spectacular. I liked all the stage effects and Defying Gravity worked very well. Of course I admired the puppets and the shadow work. Caroline really enjoyed it. She felt sorry for the animals which I think they were trying to do. She had a very good Caroline Day.
Today is a bit of cleaning and then onto the next set of projects. And dealing with Cookies for the Girl Scouts. I took a bunch of pictures of skeletons for some structural ideals for my critters. I am working on what I am going to call them.
I am grateful that we had such a nice, all be it cold, day.
