final pics of Roberto and its gruesome death tonight. The painting was done with the washable tempora paints in the house, which were aweful but not messy.
final project alternatives/what i learned:
get candy first, and remember that candy is heavy and more expensive than you think it is.
paint multiple coats. paint it all white first, then add the other colors.
flour plaster needs to be made in large quantities, because you will run out of plaster when your hands are sticky.
flour plaster smells terrible. so does paint.
flour plaster is sticky, but it comes out of clothes.
next time, use cardboard at the bottom for better structural support.
the inevitable thought: can homemade pinatas be a business? they would be overly expensive, and at the request of the customer. customers can be nasty. what about organic candy, sugarless candy, nut-less candy, and other alternatives. those can be made, for a lot more money. its an interesting idea, making pinatas out of my own house. wedding pinatas. custom pinatas. i can imagine the spongebob and spiderman pinatas, the margarita pinatas. I can send out a catalogue.
anyways, i may have a new 'job'. its not much, but there's a florist mom knows who delivers to all the churches and could use someone who's back is intact. it probably won't pay more than $5 an hour, but that's okay. the lady at the florist is so nice. i'll learn about keeping a shop and maybe even ring up customers and help deliver flowers. I'll learn something.
