We’re sorting the basement for the yardsale. Here are some of the things which will be in the sale.

I built this cyclops head for Mt. Hood’s production of Odyssey. It has since been in Jack and the Beanstalk and then sat in my basement for years and years. It’s papier-mache and quite light.

I have no idea why this turtle shell is in my basement. I think it’s the Mock Turtle’s from Alice in Wonderland, but I was also fairly certain that we built that one out of fiberglass and this is papier-mache. So many shows, so long ago.

Beaver costume, anyone? It includes mask, body and a very fine tail.

I wish there were a way to discuss beavers without sounding dirty.

This is the saddest thing in my basement. These are puppets with insects living in them. I can’t save them because they are a danger to other puppets as well as being fairly gross. It is still painful to have to throw them out.
