Kriby’s son Alec had a school project on Greek Mythology and they worked on a costume. Hope designed a Pegasus on the shield cut from pink Styrofoam.
We installed the 2 strands of 50 Pixel lights into the top of the OctoPod. The roof of the pod was pegboard and the individual Pixel lights were just a little bigger than the pegboard holes. We had to burrow out holes along the perimeter and pushed the blubs of the Pixel lights into the holes. We created a half circle, but completed the strand end to end. The initial programming of the lights was to chase from light 1 to light 100 with different patterns and fading.
Hope’s cartoon strip for the OctoPod Origins is in full swing. She had sample copies of the individual frames. We are in discussions on creating a pamphlet/booklet to market the OctoPod at Great Lakes Fright Fest. Maybe event sell them.
