I am a horrible blogger. As you can see it has been over 2 months since my last post. However, Halloween has come and gone and I love this Holiday. I usually dress up each year and have fun doing it.
This year I was almost not going to do anything as I was overwhelmed with projects at work and didn't want to take the time to do it. Well, one of the managers let me in on their theme of The Wizard of Oz and asked if I could be part of it. I quickly came up with the idea to be the man behind the curtain.
I put together a bunch of black paper at work and created a curtain and a giant head. I rigged it to make it so his mouth could move. Then I thought I can do a little more and look like an older man when I come out from behind the curtain.
I bought some white hairspray and a fake mustache, added some masking tape to a black sweater, pinned on a chain to look like a pocket watch and voila "The Wizard."
When I got to work, without seeing my area, I was called Captain Kangaroo, Sam Elliot and a few other characters, which is what I was not going for. I had fun anyway.
I am hoping to get some pictures together to post of all my past characters at work from Halloween time.
Below is a video of my work area. I had downloaded the sound clip from the Wizard of Oz when they approach him. I would play this for people while I moved the mouth from behind the curtain.
