I have been busy this weekend too, dispite the fact that life tried to get me to come out of the garage several times!!LOL
I borrowed Ghostess's idea for the wailing tree, the wizard head was so heavy - I stuffed his head with seat cushion foam and then great stuffed it all in there but the mask itself was heavy to start with - I had to keep adding supports in the PVC construction so he wouldn't fall from side to side but he is a strudy little thing now. He will be patting the dragon when completed - another job for my FX guy - thank goodness he lives only 15 minutes from my house.The robe he has on will be much better fittied and actually look like a robe when I get him done but I just couldn't wait to see what he will look like with a little clothing on. The puppetman looks funny now but as soon as I get with my FX guy we will add some sort of pully system to make him shake around - that is why he looks so "thin"!LOL the vampire head thing is sound activated and it plays scary music and talks like a "vampire". I got the hanger last weekend at a yard sale for 1.00. I couldn't believe it fit so perfectly. I will put him in the bathroom on party night! Wonder how many kids will skip going because of him?LOL I have many more to go so I hope you like and any suggestions you may have please feel free to let me know!
Thanks
Denise
