A while back we spent the weekend cleaning and organizing our garage, during the process we took a few hours to photograph some of the papier mache props stored in our garage. The photo includes about 75% of the props that have been built over the past few years. Absent from the photo are zombie skulls, demon skulls, plain old regular skulls, the sentinels and 14 sets of ribs, arms and hands.

Photographing the props was fun because they were displayed in a fashion that created some interesting juxtapositions as you don’t normally see frogs mixed with pumpkins mixed with gargoyles mixed with whatever.

The whole group of props sitting in our back yard reminded me of a huge papier mache garage sale. Slapping a price tag on each piece would have probably been easier than hauling everything back into storage.

That was fun to see and really made me smile. I never realized the frogs were that large; I thought they were much smaller for some reason.

LOL, Scary, I was just thinking "high school graduation class of 1947"!

Really, Stoll, going to all that trouble to put everything back into your garage when you have so many friends here who would been happy to relieve you of that terrible burden by providing space in their own homes for some of those creatures.:googly::D What were you thinking?

Neato!

Inspirational (cause your work is awesome, original and creative) and yet disappointing (cause I know if I tried it I wouldn't even be able to make a recognizable mountain).

Next time you are reorganizing I'll stop by with a truck to save you the trouble of having to put everything back in storage. You the mache MAN!
