Eva is putting together a costume/cosplay for Halloween. She is going as a character named Nico di Angelo, a character from the Percy Jackson series of books. He’s soon have a one shot story with his boyfriend Will Solace. Eva has gotten a bomber jacket and more to add to her cosplay. The last thing she needs to complete the costume is a sword. So, she is crafting one for the first time. We picked up all the materials for the sword and Eva helped me cut the foam. I cemented it together with Contact Cement and picked her up a Dremel so that she could sand it down and create anything extra that she wanted for the sword. The next steps are hers to complete.
Andy has been making use of the Mixy Squish that we received from The Horizon Group. This air dry compound is really neat and Andy has made a few fun things. He had made a fish and now he has made the taco. The compound stays solid once dry but it also stays a little squishy, too. It is really interesting stuff.
I took Andy to karate for a special bully prevention session. The school always does an excellent job with teaching kids the skills needed to deal with bullies. This afternoon Andy also received a postcard from one of the black belt volunteers at the school and it really hit him. You should have seen the smile on his face.
