Our Construction Diary
|
November-December, 2002 (1 of 3) Steve & Marty were lucky enough to spend 26 days in Europe from late October until mid-November. While that is the subject of a whole bunch of pages to be made later, it was strange to miss Halloween, since it seemed to throw off the whole rest of the holiday season once we got back. Once we did get back, we were thrown back into production at such a level that we barely noticed the passing of Christmas, let alone New Years. We had two dragon banners, a turtle head, AND, a Sunflower marionette to finish by the end of the year. Let's see how it went. First off the banners. Our movie costumer friend, Leslie Gilbertson, commissioned us to paint two banners of Dragons, one with a young girl riding and the other with a young boy. Each of them was to be four feet by seven feet big. She prepared the fabric with a secret treatment (well, not so secret any more, she unrolled it in the driveway and squirted it with bleach from a ketchup bottle), then washed it, dried it and dropped it by the studio. We took it from there.
