Portlanders! I am looking for folks to help carry some giant puppets in the #stjohnsparade coming up on May 10th in #stjohns , #northportland , including this 6 person, 22 foot long "St Johns River Monster" puppet. Parade line-up starts at 11am by Roosevelt High School, parade rolls at noon.

Finally pulled the giant Green Man puppet head off the clay today!

Thanks! 😊 And thank you so much for the great parade!

This mask finally got to be worn in a parade today! (I made it years ago in college).

4/26/25 Earth Day Parade in Portland, organized by @350pdx.bsky.social and Sunnyside Environmental School.

Can't wait till next year's parade!

Here you can see the process of sculpting the Greenman puppet's head over the corplast core

Current puppet build: Giant Green Man.
🍀🌳🌱🌲🌿
Hoping to have him completed in time for May Day. His head is 3 feet tall x 2 feet wide, and all the clay was sculpted over a reusable corrugated plastic (corplast) core.
Next comes paper mache!

Tonight! Tonight!

Catch PDX Monsters this Tuesday night at the Portland Mardi Gras Parade down N Mississippi Ave! Event starts at 7pm at N Albina and Humboldt, and ends with a street party at VonEbert Brewery, N Mississippi and Cook. There will be new monsters to meet!

Whenever I see the little crocus' I think of you guys! 💜

Thanks for being a part of it!

That is so good! Love the cryptids. We want to do our blacklight monsters as a yard display, but the current generation is not rainproof.

Your yard displays look like so much fun! I have often wondered if you do anything like that in your yard for Halloween?

Cheerful and festively dressed paraders carrying illuminated handmade lanterns made from paper and willow branches, including two big salmon, a red and white mushroom, and a coyote paw

www.pdxallsouls.org DNS has already propagated according to dnschecker.org, so the problem is somewhere in my DNS settings. 😕

Whew! It was a busy week for Monsters. Snow and ice kept most of the humans away from the secret monster lair during pdxwlf.com , but the monsters are looking forward to their next outing at the portlandmardigras.com parade: 7pm March 4th down N Mississippi Ave--that's 2 weeks from this Tuesday!

Yay! Fishy looks so cool! 💚💙💛

No commentary, just posting for your enjoyment

Round two tonight! Portland Winter Light Festival at Green Anchors, 6-10pm, 8940 N Bradford St.
Free parking at Cathedral Park boat ramp from 7-10pm

Sadly our cello+rock band Selver will not be able to play in Troll Alley tonight due to weather. But the Green Anchors garden and garden art will be beautifully illuminated, there will be hot drinks and sculpted lanterns in the pavilion, and the black light troll monsters will still be on display.

We are still planning to have lanterns displayed on Friday 2/14 in the Green Anchors pavilion, and the black light monsters will have a special 2/14 appearance at the artANTICa stage

Love it!

Procession line up at Salmon Springs fountain 6:30, starts at 7pm going from the WTC plaza to Director Park. I am not organizing but am bringing a bunch of my lanterns with volunteers. Hoping the weather forecast improves so we can bring the 20 foot dragon puppet.

Brand new monster for Troll Alley fun during Portland Winter Light Festival, this Thursday 2/13 at Green Anchors: 8940 N Bradford St, 6-10pm

We're a week behind you. Looking forward to this Saturday's downtown PDX festival scene during the lantern procession.

Best wishes for success with the new job!
