So last night was All Hallow's Eve. I dearly love this time of the year where the neighborhood goes all out and have haunted houses, shows and of course costumes and the Gathering of Candy. It such a grand time and this year due to the events over the summer I deiced instead of participating in the Gathering of the Candy that I sit and do something at my home.
So of course I made a Creature Shop.
My Fateful Assistant of mine and my eldest niece Darla helped me with the the set up. We had the cages (for more of my timid but curiously kind creatures) and patch with sturdy fences (to keep those kids out) for my more friendly and playful ones. We had little podiums for the card that describe each creature, had made the surrounding driveway look like the inside of typical Laboratory* that one would find in the movies. I stood by with my Assistant and Darla while we talked about the creatures and what they are about.
Here is a few pictures of the more photogenic ones:
http://aliceholbart.deviantart.com/art/Guidance-close-up-93996683I was surprised that this one bread well. She is very protective of her little one and preferred to stay in the aquarium that I put them in so they can look out to see the people in costumes.
http://red-izak.deviantart.com/art/Cheerful-run-95972844He was in the pen that I kept my rumbustious ones in. He loved the little moss covered bamboo that I had some people treat him with. He loves to play with the migrating ducks in the back yard and rather said to see them go when they do. I intend to domesticate one for him this winter to have a companion. After his help on the airship it is the least I can do.
http://tori-ohki.deviantart.com/art/Earth-Buttermouse-29643735Oh this was for my little nice. She does nice drawings so I created one from one of her pictures. It preferred to sit on my shoulder for most of the night. It was curious but I think the commotions was a bit to much for him.
http://14080400.deviantart.com/art/Wha-100279663The rendering picture is wonderful but doesn't put in perspective that is about the size of a rather large panther. Likes medium rare steak with a side of tomatoes I found out recently**. He had fun going out and seeing the excitement and the costumes that people wore.
http://agaave.deviantart.com/art/Sparrow-Drake-111418284This guy stayed on his perch and looked pretty for everyone. He thinks himself proud and a little uppity, I think he is a little shy meeting people. He love his cherry's and passion fruit though.
http://ankewehner.deviantart.com/art/Bunny-Dragon-83198219Sweet, cute and rather not sit in his carrier making 'smores for himself. He occasionally like to be petted but like to have his 'smores first.
Eventually my creatures got tired and we packed it up for the night. Then we three took a saunter up and down the street late as everyone packed up. I got reacquainted with some new neighbors*** and let myself enjoy the night. It was such a fantastic time and I cannot wait until next year when I can do it again.
*Of course those things are mostly inaccurate at best and a laughing stock at worst. Still it is fun to watch and for the most part I remind myself it is a movie and meant to be fun, not educational.
**As some of my tomato plants I was growing was devoured when I walked out two weeks ago when I let him out for the night.
***We have a fairly high turnover rate but I think we need to talk to the realitor who are letting the Mundys move in a Madden neighborhood. Never Good, never safe though it can occasionally turn up young and new Madden that can use out help.
