Well, looks like it's my turn in the barrel. The older son asked
me to make some figures for his yard for halloween; Grim Reaper, witch,
ghost, couple of pumpkins. The dau-in-law and grand-dau are very much
for it too, so looks like I'm stuck.

I did a google image search on halloween yard art, and came up with
a myriad of pictures. Printed a batch out, and took them over
yesterday, for them to choose what they wanted. Last I counted they'd
picked out 9 (nine), and counting. I told 'em I ain't making 9d. The
kid is supposed to be picking up some OSB or plywood, probably scraps.
As soon as I get the wood, and choices, I'll start. Should be able to
sketch them out, cut 'em out, and paint. No biggie. Except it's YARD
ART. Urk. I've got a NOS pantograph I could use to scale up the
pictures, but I'd really hate to sully it so. So, it'll be freehand,
and if push comes to shove, could craw a grid on the picture, then a
larger grid on the wood, and scale up that way. That's a handy way to
do it if you don't have faith in your drawing skills.

Yard art. How could I have sunk so low? What Gods did I **** off?
Alas, alack, woe is me.

We all slow down a little as we age and I here that a few of those
slightly used virgins that people send you have been complaining. ;-)

Hah! If any of you heathens have sent any slightly used virgins
they musta made 'em walk, 'cause I haven't seen any. I've slowed down,
yes; but that only means it takes me longer; no complaints about that.

Hello All, last year I ended up with a large box from a printer
(plotter) at work and wanted to do something with it. I took it home
and hd my wife stand in front of a section and put a spotlight at the
other end of the room and traced around the outline. We did the same
with me holding an ax like I was going to swing it down. I ended up
putting them in front of two windows with a light shining on 'em. A
little sheer fabric in the windows gave it more of an eery look.

If you dont have access to a plotter to print out each picture full
size you may be able to make a small cutout and shine a light from
across the room (or garage) to trace the image. Hope this helps.

Hah. I'm thinking the only way they'll get the whole nine is if I
draw 'em all out, then let her and her mother paint them. If I'm
painting, they aren't gonna get 'em all.

I'll do the painted yard art, but I am not 'about' to make
silhouette yard art.

So I see. Who's Jake?
