The Minotaur Costume!

There! It's pretty much done now! Not only was I working on the house, but I was also working on finishing the Minotaur head. Here Rich is modelling it. It's mostly papier mache, sheep and bear skin....that's right, I said bear. Black bear to be exact. I aquired a skin last fall from a shop that was going out of business. I made some of the claws into necklaces.......but I digress.
Here's a three quarter back shot. He was a very good model, doing what he was told. Good Minotaur. Now we just have to wait another 5 months before he can wear it.
I'm thinking of dressing as Medusa.

one day we'll find the bones of a minotuaur stuck
in the shark jaws of a stucco basement wall.

Have you ever seen the movie Time Bandits?? The minotaur costume really reminds me of the fight scene with Sean Connery!

I found you because you have Integral Trees listed as a favorite book. :) Me toO!
