A Styrofoam Ball

Dracula and his Lair

Dracula and his Lair

Which came first? The styrofoam or the vampire? In this case, the the styrofoam came first, then a few tooth picks were added for hair,  some eyes to see as well as a cape for spooking until Dracula was born. Once created, he needed a home and alas his Lair was born! All of the spooktacular majesty started with a simple styrofoam ball. Wow!

The GO ship

The GO ship

There is much to discover when sailing the high seas…you never know when you’ll see land again. Our imaginations can take us anywhere we want to go. Here, high seas adventure started with a piece of cloth, a few wood blocks, some masking tape and a few bits of string. I can just smell the salt air, can’t you.
