…preparing for the Solstice Parade…the heart is painted (70%)…the serpent head is being formed…I should finish papier mache on the serpent head today…the flames behind the head have been painted red (more definition is needed)…the whole process has been very miraculous and staying with my spontaneous and improvised ways…I am praying to get this thing finished…I will be riding the serpent in the parade…here are some photos….the Parade is June 25th….

WOW!!!!
That is going to be one wonderful float. Great photos of work in progress. Sorry that I’m not there to see it finished.
MAGNIFIQUE!! awesome, I am so glad I WILL be there to see it finished!!! and to hopefully help with the finishing touches with Rikki Baba and Carol!!!
xoxoxo
Such gorgeous work on such a grand scale! Although I love the concept of ephemeral art, it is somewhat of a pity that this is only appearing in one parade. Will your creation have a semi-permanent home afterward?
Hugs!
