 Posted: 12/25/03 - 16:19 Post subject: Snowman in Atlanta
Well here is a picture of Miss Steph with her Chrstmas package. I had decided to go an unusual route and enclosed her gifts in a paper mache sbowman. here is her picture with her new freind.
she loved the snowman so much she has not even opened her gift. she is trying to figure out how to keep the snowman.

Yup the idea was to cut the back open, each section is a package, and then just re mache him. Steph is an artist so she really appreciated it. she

LOL too funny. too funny. i figured with the Bonobo reference. hey does he agree you a Bonobo? if so smile and let him know that Bonobos are MATRIARCHAL. tee hee always a good one to play on the husbands, ok, so yes i guess i am a geek/nerd and find NHP humor funny.

well this came off surprisingly well. but yes took a lot of patience ( which i do not have) and time. and the mess? oy'vei whadda mess made it ( with jewish accent) but the look on her face. i called ahead and told her to put new paper down on the floor and that well got her concerned a bit. but she loved it and thought it quite ingenious. (breaking my arm patting my back) thinking next year maybe a reindeer.

well the frames were surgical gloves witht he fingers taped down. the nose is actually the thumb. after the first two layers dried i popped the gloves and removed them then made bases, slaked them and added verticaland diagnal supports between the two sections, much like tendons and ligaments. I just love medical training.
