Finally got around to finishing the paint job on the clubhouse.

Is the skull and crossbones over the door commercially available?

Turns out this is a pretty convenient time of year to buy that sort of thing. I found a bag of plastic bones among the Halloween decorations at Home Depot for about eight bucks and just used the skull and femurs.

Cute, cute, cute! I want one, too! Well, one that I can use as a very small art studio, and maybe a bit taller? 
But I still want the octopus.

Good practice for Monday.
Iām so glad TLAPD is on a weekday this year. I donāt usually interact with enough people on weekends to really get the full enjoyment of it.
And I think Iām out of rumā¦

A ukulele version of a delightfully NSFW Tenacious D song, transposed to the extremely appropriate key of F. I dunno if copyright/wrong sez I can post it or not?

Femo viking axe and shield boss fresh from the oven. Poor lighting - theyāre more silvery/shiny in proper light. Still need to make the rest of the shield and give them some patina. Then I will have the hedgehog-related viking accessories Iāve always wanted.

Taking a break from working on this green guy (will be a dragon or dino), I made a small shopping bag made from plastic shopping bags.

For your shopping bagā¦find excuses to shop at ToysRUs. Pink, blue, purple and lime green bags, and theyāre big. That is all.

@japhroaig, whaddya think? Iām pleased that Mike gave it a go, I canāt argue with the 2/3 tempo (different halls and instruments impose different constraints, and this sounds like he read his situation right), but Iām suspecting that the Cornet stop was maybe a bit much for balancing the 'cello. Pity. I like Cornet stops normally, but they do vary in volume.

Donāt know organ-speak, but I agree with what I think youāre saying: the organ is too dominant for the cello.
Also: why have the cello play directly into the stage wall? That couldnāt have helped.

Yeah, that is what I meant, Liz. I knew he was using the Cornet stop ahead of time, and didnāt demur, as Iāve called for that stop in other places, although I believe I called for a fairly light registration (selection of stops) here. My brain fart in not saying, āUmm, maybe a bit overpowering?ā

The balance is so off that it made me sad, because I wanted to be able to enjoy the piece rather than strain to pick out the melodyā¦you know?

Iāve not spoken with anyone else who makes bags from bags before, Iām happy to share! I was having the same issue of coming up with only white and beige bags for a while. The toy store changed their bags two or three years ago to these excellently bright colors, and well, I have a kid to shop for twice a year! Iāve a good stash built up right now, and Iāve been kinda itchy to cut them up lately. I feel like I need a couple more shopping bags.
