Monster Piñata

March 23, 2012

Ok, I’m going to admit that I am getting a little burned out on monster crafts. Are you sick of them yet? Fortunately the party is in two days so this is the last of it! I actually had much grander ideas for the monster piñata but I’m tired, and time is short, so I really did the bare minimum with this one. But I thought I would share anyway.

There is a great piñata store here in Portland called Boom Boom Balloons. It actually isn’t anywhere close to the suburb we live in, but my Aunt who lives in North Portland, happens to be neighbors to this wonderful place. I called her up last week, desperate for her to find me a round, green piñata that I could embellish into a monster.  I spent a good hour looking at my phone as she texted me pictures of all the different handmade piñata’s that were hanging in the store. The shop owner makes all of them herself and she will do custom orders as well! Despite a little bit of a language barrier with the owner and my aunt trying to figure out picture and text messaging, she came through with flying colors!

Here is what she ended up buying me (BTW it was only $13!):

My initial idea was to leave two spikes on top and then create hands and feet with the other spikes. And of course cover up the Green Lantern with a monster face. Well, it turned out that there were too many variables and complications in turning spikes into hands and feet. So I went ahead and just made a cyclops monster face. I think it still looks good and goes will with the theme, so I’m happy. Besides, it’s not about me, it’s about the boys and they will had a great time smashing this to smithereens.

If you live in the Portland, OR area and want to check out this store, here is the info:

    Completely made of recycled PVC pontoons, joints, and plastic bottles, these strange projects are powered by rado replica sale capturing and compressing air and using an clever judgement model. By devising a tag heuer replica uk so-called analogue NAND gate, the artist is able to create what are essentially judgement circuits, so your monsters can automatically decide when to cartier replica uk stop (when one reaches the sea water) and continue when no water is detected and reserve power is abundant. Audemars Piguet along with the Peabody Kent Museum in rolex replica uk Salem, Boston, are sponsoring the artist's first live exposition in the united states. Seeing the monsters doing his thing is a fake chanel sale view to observe. By "sprinkling" some air and a few turns of some PVD buttons, the monsters curiously come alive. As of this year's show, the focus was on Dutch artist Theo Jansen, whoever Strandbeests are mechanical automatons like massive, though what would be rather miniature, lifelike "beasts.

    I feel your pain on the monster craft burnout! But that cyclops face you made sounds awesome. I once tried to turn a plain box into a haunted house for a party and had a million last-minute issues. Your piñata story is way more fun, though. How did the kids react to it at the party? And would you try another monster craft in the future, or are you done for good?
