Thanks Brendan! Let me say that the Brick Testament was the main inspiration
behind doing the holiday scene.
The star came about because my NLSO, who comissioned the work, looked at the
original tree topper and said "don't you have something better?" After going
into a defensive pout, I remembered the sea critters that came with the Gungan
sets, and appeased her..... for now.
Great catch on the rubber bands! I really goofed while posing the scene - while
moving the set & camera around trying to eliminate glare (fixed light source), I
didn't think to rearrange the packages to spotlight the rubber band boxes.
Inexperience at play, I guess.
Our cats - Kiddie (black cat) has gotten lost in the tree before. In the past
couple of years, she's scaled back to simply knocking off EVERY ornament she can
get to. Joey (white, but really grey) moved in this March, and we don't know
how he is around a tree yet - but all indications point to "Return of the
Toppled Tree" this year.
Thanks again for the comments!
