This Means Something
I remember a series of Close Encounters of the Third
Kind scenes with "This means something" sculptures and paintings
of Devil's Tower. I especially liked the giant clay model on
Roy's train set. So when I resurrected my toy trains, I knew
I would also need a "This Means Something" monument.
The kids helped me begin with paper mache and chicken
wire. I wound up finishing the modeling by myself because Lainey
and Paul just didn't like having messy hands.
But they did do all the painting. They even
mixed the paint themselves. We only had orange, green, yellow and
two shades of blue to work with. But they still came up with
several shades of brown.
The final product will live in turn #1 of the top-shelf
line that will run around the den.
