Day 31 (May 16, 2008)
During these several days I spent all my morning "sculpting" time on the Morezmore packing room - inventory, organizing and cleaning. It is almost done and I am very pleased with it. That was much needed. Here is what it looks like now:
This morning I picked up Behemoth again and here is the status report. The cat's hands still need to be furred - one more session, hopefully tomorrow morning.
I spent this morning putting together the scene and setting it in epoxy.
Behemoth will be a birthday present to my sister. As I can just hand-deliver this sculpt to the final destination, for simplicity I am going just attach it all together. The cat will still be removable and the tray will be removable too, but all the tiny pieces will be glued to the tray.
Collected all pieces that will be part of the scene, then put it all together for one more dress rehersal, marked the board by scratching - to figure out where what will go
The furniture has little pieces of wire sticking out at the bottom of the feet so that the feet can be anchored in the base board. Drilled the holes, filled them with Magic Smooth epoxy:
Then just kept attaching everything with Magic Sculpt epoxy. In addition to what I already described, a couple of new little details - I love details (at the risk of overdoing it, but more is more at Morezmore).
Made two candlesticks with real candles out of metal beads, metal buttons and birthday cake candles - you can see one of them on the back of the tray, and another one on the floor by the champaigne bucket.
Remembered that I used to have a bunch of tiny wooden carved chess pieces somewhere - searched for them and found the knight! Perfect! Just like in the book.
... Besides these, there was an enormous black cat sitting on a stool in front of the chessboard and holding a knight in its right paw. Hella stood up and bowed to Margarita. The cat jumped down from its stool and did likewise, but making a flourish he dropped the knight and had to crawl under the bed after it..."

I decorated the Morezmore key with faceted iridescent glass beads and made a really cute Morezmore logo keychain:
Overall, here is what I have now - all pieces are epoxied together, the only thing that is removable is the tray, but all the pieces on the tray are attached to the tray.
Thank you for watching, ALMOST DONE!

Day 32 (May 17, 2008)
Good morning! Behemoth is done! I finished flocking on his paws. Also there was a couple of changes, namely Behemoth is wearing a white satin bow tie now (I have just finished reading the part about the Springtime Ball of the Full Moon)
... 'Never, messire! ' howled the cat, crawling out with the knight in its paw.
'Allow me to introduce to you . . .' Woland began, then interrupted himself.' No, really, he looks too ridiculous! Just look what he's done to himself while he was under the bed!'
The cat, covered in dust and standing on its hind legs, bowed to Margarita. Round its neck he was now wearing a made-up white bow tie on an elastic band... He had also gilded its whiskers.
'What have you done? ' exclaimed Woland. 'Why have you gilded your
whiskers? And what on earth do you want with a white tie when you haven't
even got any trousers? '
'Trousers don't suit cats, messire,' replied the cat with great dignity. 'Why don't you tell me to wear boots? Cats always wear boots in fairy tales. But have you ever seen a cat going to a ball without a tie? I don't want to make myself look ridiculous. One likes to look as smart as one can'.

I also made another fancier fork. Anyway, all is done, and here are the pictures of Morezmore® #21 Behemoth! :) I hope you like him!
