Aside from Playmobil, my other most time-consuming hobby is Morris Dancing.
For several years I've been playing music of one form or another, and over the years have played violin, clarinet, guitar, mandolin, penny whistle, bodhran, and melodeon.
The melodeon led me to join a group of Morris Men in the fall of 2005, and ever since I've been both a musician and dancer with the
Spring Grove Morris Men. I'm the happy looking chap bottom left of the page.
A while back I created a
Klickie Morris Dancer, then spent a few months collecting the body parts to do a whole team, but couldn't get a Playmobil violin for my figure (I play both fiddle and melodeon for Morris). As a result I never quite finished the project.
This figure is not quite in our side's kit, but I've since collected straw hats to replace the top hat, and now have a whole team, so have the means to re-create a full dance in picture story form. I'd like to do a stop-motion version, with musical soundtrack, but haven't figured out how yet.
