Granny Gets A Tattoo!

Granny Gets A Tattoo!

Now, if this works out it will be a really funny scene. Granny is standing out in front of the local Tattoo Parlour contemplating the “Today’s Special”. I know what that special will be but won’t give it away until I get the building built. Granny has her umbrella, her purse and you’ll note that I’ve given her ear-muffs as it’s a little chilly outside. She has a Fox stole wrapped around her neck and is wearing rubber galoushes. I think a cat at her feet might be a nice touch but that would move her into the group category instead of the character in a scene. Have to think about that some more. I used decorative nails for buttons on her coat.

April 25: I’ve been busy building Granny’s Tattoo Parlor. Got the basic shape made and the mount completed. Now comes all the smaller details. There will be a fire hydrant at the open end of the sidewalk and I’ve thought about a dog doing his business but have issues with it being in poor taste. Any suggestions. Also, a cat curling around Granny’s legs keeping an eye on that canine might be interesting. Have pretty well figured out all the signage. The big shop window and the one on the door will be made from lexan but you won’t be able to see all the way through them. Probably covered with the signage. The sidewalk will be concrete with maybe a little snow along the edges of the building being as Granny has her woolies on.

As I mentioned, I’ve fixed the window openings so that a piece of lexan can be inserted followed by another piece which will have some signage. You can’t see through most shop windows these days as they are all plastered with signs.

P.S.  Oops!  Forgot this! 

This morning I made Granny’s dog and the object of his interest! This should fill up the area on the left hand side of the scene and also create a new point of interest. Fido will be attached to a taunt leash which Granny is holding in her hand. I think it will look real neat once it’s painted.
