....so says Angela Lansbury in Bednobs and Broomsticks. What a wonderful movie that was, and a huge inspiration for me! I have been singing it for a couple of weeks now, especially while I'm cutting out these underwater scenes. Yeah, I'm a dork.
I lugged our immense stage up from the basement to the living room all by my lonesome today. On top of that, it was a beautiful sunny day here in Portland but I drew the curtains and covered the windows with thick blankets so I could get better shots of these shadow puppets here. Yeah! What?! Pretty good right?! All for you.
These are the recent shadow puppets that we built for the first scenes of the new play. My uncle Sugar and his wife Leslie narrate us through their first encounters with the ocean as Waver Clamor Bellow (the band) weave in and out of the scenes and narrations with melodic lullabies. It will be very beautiful.
