Friday was day 46 of the 100 day project. We love being part of this project, though the posting part can be tricky on those weeks where life resembles a runaway train! 😁 And we love Piñatas….. we love them and we hate them…..
We love the start of piñatas. The research and development piece of piñata making…. where you have to figure out the engineering of the shape…. how to make it strong enough to hold together but not so strong that it can’t be broken open. And we love the first couple rows of tissue paper…. when you get a little bit stuck on and you see the vision and you say to yourself….. oh yea, there it is.
That is where the shine starts to wear off. From then on piñata making is pretty much just work….boring work….and we hate being bored. And gluing on the tissue paper is a lot like walking across the farmer’s field – – it LOOKS like you can walk across it, but two hours later you are still walking and it looks just as big as it did when you first started. Yea…..gluing on tissue is a LOT like crossing the farmers field.
At the end of every piñata we say, “no more piñatas”……and then someone asks us to make another one and we find ourselves, just for a minute, pondering how we would build it, if we were crazy enough to make another piñata….. and I don’t need to tell you what happens next! 😁
Are there any other piñata makers out there? We would love to hear how you get through those last zillion hours of glueing! Thanks for stopping by!
