i've had this idea in mind for weeks now - ever since i found that mask... it didn't quite turn out the way i wanted, but i can't think what's missing at the moment - other than i really really wanted dry ice for the bucket... but that's tricky to arrange :(
tx all for being so kind about my shopping cart - and indeed about most of my stuff from the past couple of weeks... my phojo has abandoned me and at the moment i am just trying to coast thru in the hopes that it will return at some point in the not-too-distant-future...
This is eerie and gentle at the same time, one part of me wants to be scared by the mask, another feels for the humility of someone scrubbing floors. Cinderella/evil stepmother complex .
:) didn't Dorothy throw the pail of water over the wicked witch? I know what you mean about failing phojo... mines suffering to the point where I don't want to take the camera out.
The light is great here. What an interesting story here. Oh, my phojo is all over everywhere and back, and nothing says, "I LOVE THIS" anymore, but ebbandflophojo, what can you do but plug along. I wish my phojo was like yours. :)
yeah, i wish i am this creative. where do you get dry ice around here? i heard you have to have a really good reason to buy it, like preserving cadaver or something. :-D
@summerfield the amazing party store had it this year... You had to pre-order and you could only pick it up Saturday night or Halloween night, and neither timing would have worked... Plus I really wasn't sure what I would need to do to handle it....
I can't work out if you are Cinderella scrubbing the castle floors or the Witch of Endor who has got the whole idea of Halloween wrong and been banished to the cold castle floors!
Reminds me of those bird like Plague Doctor Masks....and your cleaning up some hideous viruses and bacteria..Which scares me more than witches!Cool and creepy shot.
Nice image. The mask reminds me of the Bob Birds in the movie 'Mirror Mask'. If you've ever seen it you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, you really should check it out! It's fantastic :)
I really like how you depict this thought, and how her gaze appears to wish there was rest for the eerie -- I mean, weary, but since you ask what's missing, maybe having a downward gaze would give more of a sense of no-rest-hopelessness feeling?
Joking apart, I like this a lot.
