Mystical Moose: How He Came To Be
http://wizardmoose.blogspot.com/2009/10/how-he-came-to-be.html
Thursday, October 15, 2009. How He Came To Be. When the idea first came up for doing another moose, I hesitated because I could not think of a concept that was at least as engrossing as my previous moose, Moosewood, a moose that was half tree, half moose, borrowed from the “Greenman” of Irish myth.

Mystical Moose: March 2009
http://wizardmoose.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

Bondo was applied in many coats and sanded off, sometimes too much. The beard was started with fabric glued to the base, then foam and bondo added, finally it was covered with cloth, and covered with surface bonding concrete. The top picture shows a mixture of surface bonding concrete and cement applied and textured onto the surface.

Mystical Moose: April 2013
http://wizardmoose.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 22, 2013. It's been 4 years and this blog needs some final comments. The sale of the moose was a disaster. The average sale price of the moose was 1/4 of the previous auction. Because of the success of the prior event, the artists worked twice as hard. Acknowledging how awful this event was by those who ran it would have provided some comfort. The lesson I took away from this. Don't ever do it again! The success of the last auction I am sure led people to put more work into the new ones.
