NIGHT 25 OF 31

Bat Dragonflies

A strange, pretty night. Flying is suggested by cloth and not attempted from anything high.

COSTUME

Wings that read as both: dark membranes, a bright vein like an insect.

ACCESSORIES

Two antennae you can forgive, and a small bat-ear clip.

DECORATIONS

Hanging wings from the posts. Lanterns between them so they glow at the edges.

ATMOSPHERE

A strange, pretty night. Flying is suggested by cloth and not attempted from anything high.

FOOD

Dark berries, pale cheese, honey on black bread.

DRINK

Blackberry and sparkle. Purple in the glass, orange in the light.

MUSIC

High bells and a low wing-beat drum.

ACTIVITIES

A slow flap walk. No running with wings. The path is crowded and the wings are wide.

THE PARTY

The wings get lit from behind at full dark. That is the picture.

AFTER DARK

Antennae off. Wings stay because they are warmish and showy.

OF THIS OCTOBER

Esme’s wings are too wide and she is gracious about doorways. Of this October.

EVENTS

  • Slow flap walk
  • Wings lit from behind
  • Blackberry at the stall

A FRAME, IF YOU WANT ONE

You in dark cloth wings with a bright insect vein, lanterns behind you, mountain night, strange and beautiful, no text.

STALL

Double wings

Cloth wings on soft straps. Bat in the shape, dragonfly in the vein.
