Pat B:
My wife, Marcia came up with an idea for a performance art project. For the last few months she and I made the paper mache masks and cloth bodies and wings. We had another couple, Holland and Mickie help us with the painting of the bodies and wings and as participants in the performance. Last Friday afternoon and night Brevard had it's "Twilight Tour" and Christmas Parade. Just after sunset we steeled away to the far end of the festival on Main Street then came into the crowd. Marcia and Mickie were the guides helping us navigate the crowd and Holland and I carried the larger owls. Marcia and Mickie wore owl masks we also made to help with the anonymity. Here are a few pics, a couple of the pics are in front of the newly remodeled gallery that Marcia is a founding member of and has been in for over 18 years. This was a fun project and performance and the crowd loved it.

osage outlaw:
Very cool Pat.  I think you would have looked good in the mask.  You would have looked like a wise old owl with the beard sticking out  ;D

bjrogg:
Pretty cool Pat. It looks like the head is on a stick? It'd make people look if you could turn it around backwards like a real owl. One of them should be carrying that wacky tacky bow you just finished, it'd go pretty good with all those patterns and colors.

Pat B:
Thanks guys. It was a fun project. Hopefully we can make it an annual thing with other folks participating.
 Clint, I had my face and beard covered so folks would concentrate on the owls and not the carriers.
BJ, the large owls were supported on 2" PVC pipe upright with 1" PVC arms. Maybe by next year we can figure out how to make the heads turn.

PEARL DRUMS:
Very cool work, Pat and Marcia. Was there a reason owls were chosen? Is it something special in your town or just something the ladies like to make?
