After hours of work on our creep, the physical structure and the coding were finally complete! However, the creep was still headless and box-less (severely reducing its creepiness) which meant... it was time for crafties! Clara and I had been looking forward to crafting since the beginning of the project, so we were very excited.
After searching in vain for a festive box, we decided to go with the second best option: cardboard (of course plucked straight from the trash heap outside). Since the murky brown color of cardboard clearly would not suit our creep, we decided to decorate with COLORED FOAM! Clara had the brilliant idea that our creep should wear a tux. The moment those words left her lips, we both knew our creep could be clad in nothing else.
The gorgeous tux:
Still very much lacking was the all important creep head! To create it, one night in the science center I relived the paper mache unit from my 5th grade art class . Here is a photo journal of the creep coming to life:
 |
| Ready to go |
 |
| The process begins |
 |
| Newspaper ball! |
 |
| Printer paper primer |
Marie was kind enough to lend me some of her puppet's leftover face paint...
 |
| Modeled a nose out of clay! |
 |
| Handlebar mustache! (by popular opinion) |

THE CREEP
 |
| Chillin' in his inner box |
|
 |
| Kickin' in his outer box |
 |
| Successfully creeping somebody out for the first time |
 |
| Trying on his outfit |
At last, our creep was all gussied up and ready to put on his show!
