Falcons on the flat, phat

As we waited in the ferry waiting room full of people, we watched the flat screen announce events for the weekend. All of a sudden, a familiar something came onscreen. Tara exclaimed, "Hey, that's us!" Then we proceeded to wait an additional 10 minutes for the loop to run again so we could take this picture.

Cactus Duet

We started a new project called The Cactus Duet. Tara's keys were made into an upright piano, a vulture hunts a rat on our tag sale turntable find, cat tails swing to the beat of music, and a cactus keeps time. Scratch, scratch.

Puppet Master Blaster!

We've been busy at work getting ready for our first performance on Sunday, July 11th. We don't want to give too much away, but here's a couple shots of the puppets and props that we've been making. Most of them are cut with a jigsaw from 1/4 inch plywood and cleaned up with our fresh Dremel. Hope you enjoy the sneak peak!
