Small Shipping Crates

Description

Umm...Yeah. Not sure if this even counts as art, but *Shrug*.

My boss is opening a store. We've all being helping set up over the past month.

Says he to I, after suspending a giant bi-plane (and a giant shark, and some stingrays...) from the ceiling:

"We really wanted shipping crates to go with the plane, but..." [recalls difficulties working with that particular fibreglass artist]

Says I:

"Do you still want them?"

He gives me an odd look. "Yes."

"How many?"

"Three."

"What kind of shipping crates?"

"Uh, wooden, old, like Madagascar?" (WTH?! Yeah, that's what I thought, too...)

"Okay." *Insert another odd look here*

The next day I show up with these. He was flabbergasted (So was his wife :D). By his own admission, he was expecting "cardboard boxes with lines drawn on". Heh. I TOLD him I do art. Though I wouldn't call this art...Craft, perhaps? I was particularly fond of "normal people can't do that in a day" from him (*Warm grin* - he normally isn't an easy one to impress). I didn't point out that it had really only been a few hours, since we'd all been at the store until 11pm the night before...

Anywho, these will eventually be suspended from parachutes (that I haven't made yet, that I would LOVE ideas on making, since nothing I have tried looks right so far) and hung from a ceiling behind a big plane.

They are sitting on 13"X13" tiles for scale - they are 6" long, carved from sheets of 1/2" low-density, closed cell foam (yes, that terrible packing foam that crumbles into balls and makes a mess) using heated tools.

So, uh, ideas on sculpting three bloody parachutes very, very welcome! :D
