The sombrero and yarn ball are for the Chiodo Brothers, who were responsible for the Cheshire Cat puppet, so those are some of his props. hahah The green hat is just something we see from time to time in Hatter's house, though ironically it was also in his grandfather's hat trunk that they found after going on a "treasure hunt". I guess Hatter kept it around afterward! Anyway, we used that to represent Lois DeArmond, who did constumes. I don't know if she designed the hat or if Kelly Van Patter did, since nobody ever wore it, but it was a clothing item that just popped in my head when I thought of Lois, and I knew I didn't want to redraw an item that the characters wore, since it's already represented in their profiles. Then there's the record player, which you can barely tell reads "Dinner Music", and it's for Mark Mothersbaugh, the music director. It was fun drawing that one because in order to get a good reference, I got to look at Hare having a difficult time with it. XD ooshkabooshka so cute.

So~ that just leaves two drawings for the makeup artists and the writers. I'm doing a collection of things: the makeup artists get three items from the Queen's table (a lotion dispenser, a hand gel bottle, and a facial creme container), and the writers are getting a stack of books seen in the show with one of them leaning against the stack with the cover 3/4 facing us. The books will be... the Large Print Dictionary, Hatter's Daffy Taffy book, the Red Pages, Field Guide to Wonderland Plants, Rip Roaring Rabbit Tales, and Diary of a Mad Hatter. It's between the last two which one will be facing forward.

When the props are done (hopefully today) I'll assign myself the cast profiles for the rest of the month. But then... I don't know if I can stick with this project next month. I'll be hyper-aware that it's NaNoWriMo, I'm already kicking myself all the time for the amount of time I've lost to write this year.... I still have no one helping me sort out my thoughts for He's There, so it still feels like deep space around here. Very stale air, nothing getting done.

I had high hopes this year, but I'm not going to have met any of my goals. Not a one. He's There won't be finished revising, I won't have a new AIW fanfic, I won't have done my own Script Frenzy for Nosferatu in Love, I won't have advanced my Orlok costume because the tailor I was talking to earlier this year seriously never got back to me with a quote and I don't know who else to go to. I've got nothing to be proud of except *maybe* this website. Maybe. I know I'll need another month on the site, but another month remains open if I can actually pull myself up to stance and do something. But what? And will it be next month?

I'm going to have to think it over. But if I decide to plot HT and get somewhere with it in November, I'll need help fast.
