\"Angler<\/a>

Angler Fish<\/p><\/div>\n

After entering the Machynlleth Lantern Parade last year<\/a> we had more ambitious plans this year. The theme was ‘Under the Sea’ so we decided on a lantern fish. Our inspiration was something like this.<\/p>\n

Suitably ‘fishy’ and suitably ‘halloweeny’ at the same time and with a lantern dangling in front of it as a lure, perfect for a lantern parade too.<\/p>\n

We tried to get the Scouts involved with the build but to be honest most of them weren’t interested so it ended up being a mainly leader and adult helper built affair. I drew a design, made a plan and orchestrated the building of the frame. We had bought a \u00a340 ‘large lantern kit’ from the parade organisers but\u00a0didn’t actually get much material with it really. With a few of us working on it it soon started to take shape. We\u00a0used every single piece of willow on the build, but by the end the shape was exactly how we wanted it and it was beginning to look good.<\/p>\n

\"Ready<\/a>

Ready for it’s skin<\/p><\/div>\n

It\u00a0wouldn’t fit in our car though so Dave and Sarah were called on with their van to get it back to our house ready for the messy task of adding a skin. Anna and Morgan took care of this and now it was really getting there.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
