After the weekends antics I was going to write an amusing article on the use of helium balloons as makeshift ghosts, was being the operative word, for one day later after bringing these beauties back from the appearance in Solihull they seem to have gone rather flat and prefer rolling around rather than bobbing. A bit of a disappointment really, I had even fashioned some kitchen roll as a neck ruff and cut strips out of another for the body. It was going to be controlled using a thin line of thread and it was supposed to haunt Bunnyopolis by flying in and out the door so I could 'capture' it on the Bunnycam.
The failure if the balloons also out paid to another piece of tomfoolery that I was going to do and that was releasing a balloon into the wild with a email address attached. The finder had to answer the question by emailing the answer and if they were correct they would have won a prize. Looks like I will have to shelve both ideas until I get a balloon that can last more than a day. So I'm a bit disappointed, instead you get a boring blog entry about a blog entry that never was.
On a lighter note we did have the unveiling of a new original at the weekend. 'Happy Days' was so new it hadn't even been framed for the event and had to be rushed out because all the originals earmarked for the day had been snapped up. Nice to see it again.
This week I will be hard at work building sets again using a variety of cardboard components and lots and lots of plasticine, painting several new pieces and putting the finishing touches to a few other paintings. A busy week planned that ends at the weekend with two Foreverbunny events with Jayne leading us nicely into December and the run down to the day a big jolly fat bloke wearing a costume bursts into your bedroom and empties his sack into your stocking. Nice.
