Now on to the Egyptian stuff. The displays are in progress. I had to help with some of them. What a chore.
Here are my new friends: Pharoah I, Pharoah II and Guard. They're reproductions, but Pharoah II is covered in real gold leaf. He shines.
Now for the work part. I had to help the C's with these big stinky horses. We have to make full battle costumes for them, at least all the cloth part. It has been and will continue to be too much trouble. But the C's don't seem to mind at all. They think it's exciting for some odd reason. Strange people.
Well, this is me on the horse and then there's a closeup. I handed pins out and threatened to cut off the horse's tail with the scissors if he wouldn't be still. The C's use scrap fabric to drape the horse and cut the pattern out. You'll be surprised at the finished product and how it can be made from this silly light blue dog coat.
Here's me with the boy in a chariot. The C's have to dress a bunch of mannequins too, in authentic style Egyptian clothes. Yeah, real stylish eh? I'm seriously thinking I adore polyester about now. Give me double knits, y'all. Black or purple, of course. The human guy in the back is the head artist for the display. We surprised him when we took the picture. Ha, gotcha.
Good grief, stupid horse. Don't eat me! Oh, you're just smelling. That was scary.
And here's the perfect end to a...long day. Not only did we drive back-roads on the way home, but there were spots where there were NO cell phone bars. I mean, what if we had gotten a flat tire or something. It would have been a disaster.
And, it rained.
