Medieval Faire Magdeburg (OttoKaiserFest) by Day

Flicker Set- it's my photoblog!

T and I went back during the day and discovered that the area we wandered around in the other night was just a small part of the faire! We had seen only about a third of the whole area. While most of the other sections were much of the same, it was still fun to wander around and see everything. There were hot air balloons in the sky, adding the the majesty of the cathedral and its grounds.

Most amazing was the food! It was -very- good and extremely reasonably priced! They also do not have paper cups: they give you your drinks in an earthen mug and charge a 3euro deposit. You can then either return the mug for your deposit or keep it as a souvenir. That alone really reduces the amount of trash at the fest.

One thing that intrigued T and I: a cotton candy maker who had to twirl around the swarm of wasps that were crawling all over the floss. We kept imagining the horror if he missed one...spicy!

I also saw -3- border collies at this event! Including a very cute one that reminded me of Tass.

PUPPETS! Secret Project Revealed!

Puppet Show Full FLickr Set!

I was working like a madman from June until mid-August on a project I couldn't talk about or even show some of the pieces I was laboring on...much as I wanted to! The project I was making these for wanted to keep everything under wraps until the show was performed. Puppets. Lots of puppets!

The show was the EF Pawpet Show: Pompeii-- and I can now show off the characters I made for the performance.

The show was wonderful and the cast and crew took well-deserved bows.
