Cheers to Fat Tuesday, to my artist friends that gather in New Orleans, and to the crazy krewe's that perform in the parades of New Orleans. I will end this year's chapter with a look back at my last parade and the fabulous art that was created during our Ghost Rider workshop. The theme's for each year are decided by our instructor Michael deMeng and this one was also titled "The Krewe du Ghoul Workshop" which translates to parade ready ghost assemblage. Working towards a theme can be a delightful exercise in creativity or not! I used roller skate parts to build mine and it sits on a stage with magnets embedded to hold it in place. As usual, I built 2 pieces, but one was much, much smaller.
And here are all of the other assembled ghouls.
The Krewe du Vieux parade was its usual risque act, these are censored photographs.
This was the Transformers Krewe - Revenge of the Storm Drains and they were busily picking up items to recycle.
And thanks to Thom Ciulla I have this photograph of our parade through the French Quarter where we don't attract as large a crowd but we take it seriously.
And another fun year down!
Happy Mardi Gras!
Motorcycles, trains and scooters... who could ask for more?
