OctoBike

Say what?

Another paint party a couple weeks ago, this one a private do in honor of dear Heather, who with her family has just PCS’d off island. (We are very sad.)

Heather had a special request for her paint party – an octopus riding a bicycle. Her expression of the perfect Kwaj theme.

So all Ms Deb had to do was make the request a reality, and to no one’s surprise she created a masterpiece with the octopus being the bike. Then Debbie had to figure out how to teach a bunch of us to create our own masterpieces – and not to exceed the requisite eight tentacles.

Because this was fairly complex and detailed, Debbie made a few stencils for us to start with.

For my Octobike I chose the two metallic paint colors provided – you can’t tell from the pics but my cephalopod-bicycle is really quite shiny.

Progession of this work of art is as follows:

  

Here’s half our group and their finished masterpieces.

Heather we miss you guys!
