Parade floats are generated by a whole team of artisans. A carpenter, a sculptor and welder, a mechanic... I was the decorator. The Jack-O-Lantern Pumpkin For my"test"project I was handed an air brush (which I had never used before) and asked to paint the pumpkin. By the end of my time there I ws efficient enough with the air brush as a tool but I doubt I'll ever be passionate about it. I like dry brushing and sponging for producing the illussion of texture and depth. This is all for a Scooby-doo float in case you're wondering what it has to do with a Christmas parade. |

Fiddler on the Roof That was the biggest French manicure I ever did! The hand you see here is three feet tall, the fiddle is as large as a cello. Sometimes floats get recycled from year to year. This one was made new while I was there. A few years later I saw it reincarnated in the Micheal Douglas film "Don't Say a Word" |

A Christmas Carol I did the hour glass in this photo. It was biult on a turning base so I painted the sand at an angle so that as it rotated it would appear that the sand was falling down. I painted the stage for it as well. |

Winter Wonderland I got more glitter in my hair and in my clothes and in my shoes and in my car and in my bed and in my Cheerios... |

Famous Players Movies Float The tiger was huge! It stuck out from the wall about 15 feet. It bounced a bit throughout the parade. Made me a little nervous because it was my job to keep an eye on it. What was I supposed to do if it did come loose? That is what I would like to know. |
