Heads @ MindSay

I almost forgot to add these pix!  Here is Lola in the window.  Even though she is a mannequin head, she takes on a life-like appearance with her eyes directed upwards, as if she is really watching the rain storm roll in.

It's that time of year again, when the sky turns cloudy with rain and rumbles with thunder.
Only to make and keep the green again!
Storms make me nervous, but I will deal with the rain better than the snow.
Go here to check out all the new mannequin heads I decorated!
Check out Lola and her pal, Cinnamon, all dressed up.
More fun with Mannequin heads!
The old mannequin heads all sitting pretty on a glass shelf.
All the NAKED HEADS!
Naked Heads close up!
Okay, I'm done adding links to all the "head" themed pictures. 

Fifi-Michelle wears a pink ribbon band hat with a purple sheer silk scarf decked with sequins and beads.

Nora sports a recycled silk sari head scarf with straw matt visor.  She sits between two other as-yet-unnamed other mannequin heads.  To her right is a head with Moroccan bellydance headdress and to her left is another head with a blue beaded headdress.

Fifi-Michelle on the shelf with the other unnamed "heads": on the left one wears a recycled silk hat, the other on the right wears a brightly colored Tam.

Close-up of the "dreamer" head (eyes closed). 

Then we have a close-up of the "green eye shadow" head wearing the Tam.

And, just in case you didn't get to check them out earlier, there are other unnamed heads at Dala's store:
The one wearing the gold-beaded headdress and green chin scarf looks rather medieval, doesn't she?
The next head is wearing the same gold coin bellydance headdress that I wear in my current profile photo.
The last photo shows off a lovely white metal headdress with mirrors.  That head was "rescued" recently -- she was about to get thrown into the garbage because she was falling apart and her features had faded.  I couldn't let that happen.  So I took a bit of white-out and remade her face.  She now winks out of her sleep and two hearts on her left cheek hide where once was an accidental scratch in her styrofoam! How some of the mannequins looked before their make-overs. They now all have at least one eye open!

Feel free to help me name the others.  Hope you have a happy day.

Lola and Cinnamon (thanks for the names, everyone!) are now all dressed up and standing pretty in the store window.

What I did today: gave a spark of life to the totally lifeless.  Made faces out of blank styrofoam heads.  Each one has their own personality.  Quite a difference considering how generic they once were.

Doing this really got me out of a bad funk today.  I'm now ready to go back to my drawing board!

Anyone want to give some names to these heads?

foreverknight  should really love the "Lydia" looking one (with the black bangs and choker necklace)!

First thank you to atticsmouse , mamajo , and myclette for giving me encouraging words:D  You guys are the greatest!

 

I feel a little bit better today.  Even though I cleaned up the kids' heads, I am keeping home again today.  Their heads are sore from the dayum shampoo.  Plus once I get the last of the bedding and laundry washed in steaming hot water, I am going to treat their heads with veggie oil like Kym suggested.  I refuse to be like other parents, treat once and then send back to school.  I treated w/ the shampoo and today with veggie oil and next week with the shampoo again. 

 

I rearranged my doctor appointments, I didn't want to go anywhere yesterday or today.  I wanted to get my house back together.  The doctor got back to me on what I thought was scar tissue from a mole biopsy, he wants to open it completely up and see what is going on because it isn't exactly scar tissue nor is it a skin tag.  Once he sees what is going on in it he is going to completely remove the thing off and send it off for another biopsy.  That is next week.  I also changed my GI Surgan appointment to next week.

 

It rained all day yesterday to the point I had water coming out of the old orchard and streaming down the enbakment (how the hell do you spell that word?) on my drive and I have standing water in the one flat portion of my yard and in what use to be my garden.  I am counting my blessings though that we arne't in the areas of NE, SD, and IA that are experancing flooding.  It has been doing nothing but raining for about two weeks.  My lawn looks like a dayum jungle!  I bet if I look out there today sometime I will see minature monkey's swing from the grass and forest elephants and all those great animals!  Last night I heard my pup Dooley just going crazy barking, whinning, growling, and moaning so I went out in the storm and the sky was a funky blue green.  Well I wasn't about to screw with a possible tornado coming through so I unchained Dooley, rounded up the cats and brought them in.  Ran down to the small barn and made sure the feral cats had a blanket and then moved the vechiles back about 50 feet from the house drive.  We have an old tree that needs to come down and if a heavy enough storm comes through it will go down.  Randy and my Uncle have been just waiting for the rain to stop to bring over a loader to stablize the tree while Randy goes up the tree and start bringing down branches before they bring the tree completely down. 

 

Yesterday evening, we went down to my parents hosue so my mom could come through my hair thankfully I didn't have any nits, eggs, or bugs!  I would have been soooooooooo pist!  My hair may only be down to my shoulders but it is all one length and thick ass hell!  Then they kept us for BLT sandwhichs and Papo took each of the kids down to his shop and had a lil chit chat with them.  All he would tell me was that he asked them to continue helping me out.  I am wondering if he didn't pull the whole responsiblilty thing on them:D

 

After we came home from dinner, I put some veggie oil w/ tea tree oil on the kids heads and sent them to bed.  I sat down and just vegitated!  I read 3 smut books and listened to George Clinton and Patra until about midnight and then I finally went to bed.  I got up at 5:30 and started working on laundry again.  I checked the kids and told them to go back to sleep and then called the school about 7:30 to let them know they wouldn't be in again today.  I didn't have dial tone!  I was like dayum I wonder if there are lines down somewhere!  I went outside and realized that my lines were underground so I ran up the hill and asked my Auntie if she had phones.  They have above ground lines.  Yep.  So I used the cell phone.  Still drizzling outside and here I am dodging a Great Dane Pup with a soccer ball in mouth wanting to play, moving around the drive trying to find decent signal and it booms and the sky lights up and starts down pouring..........again!  I finally got the call made to the school.  Turned around and called the phone company and Steve got out here with in 5 minutes and fixed a broken line to the house.  The whole time laughing at Dooley.  My dog has serious issues with people but mainly men!  He kept barking, moaning, and occasionally growling at Steve!  It never fails I get the dogs that have mental issues! 

 

I got my phones back, loaded dishes, have done more laundry, made bacon, eggs, and toast for breakfast, and took my meds.  Sebrina is a bit put out with me because this is the second day I have missed meeting her up at Native Curves for our workout but she also understands.  Today I am hoping to have my house completely back from all the washing and so happy that I dont' have to go anywhere today.  Okay to the store to get a pack of cigs.
