Charlotte, Mason, Joyce and I did Project Bread's walk for hunger today. It's a 20 mile walk, but most families with kids just do part of it. We walked from Park Street Station in downtown Boston to Newton Center (around 7.5 miles)
We raised almost $600 to feed the hungry in Massachusetts. Their web site made soliciting and collecting pledges effortless. I hope my friends didn't mind a little spam from me, as it was for a good cause.
Charlotte and Mason complained a bit in the last mile, but mostly they were terrific! I think they were proud of their accomplishment.

I meant to document the construction, but got carried away and in a hurry. The "skull" or frame is made from pink foam insulation board, stuffed with newspapers and plastic bags. The skin is duct tape, and the eyes are big super balls, that I drilled holes into and placed bright color changing LEDs, making them internally illuminated and changeable.
I hope to develop it into a full costume. I'm thinking about applying foam insulation to the surface for texture, installing a fan and silk flames in the mouth.I also want to build a frame to wear it on and big puppet claws. Wings would be way cool, but probably out of my time budget! Maybe in 3 years!
