35th wedding Anniversary is Coral

Hubby walked in to Lowe's to give me a report on how this bad boy looked in person. We had watched a Vlogger assemble one for his home. Got a text saying he looks OK. I said how about he is our 35th wedding anniversary gift to each other? Without knowing it the 35th traditional anniversay gift is coral! How perfext to get a deep sea gift!

This is a really good looking animatronic on its own. The plan is to do a re-paint, add some padding to the costume, add a dive belt, and make a sea bed base for Bob. He is living room decor when the Yule tree is not in that corner. The work on Bob will be in December while the tree is up. The light only comes on with sound so we plan to add internal and external lighting.

Big fan of Scooby Doo and the episode Silence in the Library from Doctor Who. Bob reminds me of characters from both shows.

Halloween on the brain

The little snake bottle is from DeeDee & Shark a very talented artist making spooky, creepy, and truly unique ceramics. Her in person shows have smaller items if you happen to catch her at a Pacific Northwest show.

Is everyone working away on Halloween projects? We knew the cemetery fence needed replacing so it is being copied using black Sintra board this summer. First test cutting of a section was this week and the sturdier fence pieces are impressive. We had bigger plans for this October only Mr. Old Fashion Halloween will be traveling with his brothers over Halloween. Disassembling the yard by myself and I need to keep it simple.
