The Making of the Legendary Hero

Monica's family has a long standing tradition, where they dress up a large cardboard skeleton during the Halloween season, as part of the decorations. When we moved in together that tradition continued in our house.

This will be our forth year doing this (perhaps I'll post some past pictures if I can dig them up somewhere). Monica and I are probably what you would call big nerds...

Pictured above: nerds
... and this is our second year making a character from a video game, Link from the Legend of Zelda series (modeling him after "A Link to the Past). Anyway, here is a small photographic story of our skeleton's journey into nerdom!

Here we find Monica hard at work on the beginning stages of the tunic.

And here I am, working diligently on the master sword.












The tunic and the sword nearing their completion.

The finishing touches.



















And there you have it, one Legendary Hero!
With some construction paper and a little arts and crafts time, your skeleton can look as sexy as this guy!
