To build our backdrops, I have used discarded bike boxes, refrigerator boxes, truck shell boxes\u2014you name it.  So, when an offer of free cardboard comes up, I perk up and hope that it will be strong, big enough for our scene, and won&#8217;t have too many holes in it.  I am usually ready to use anything, in any shape, in any size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But sometimes you get a gift.  I got a call recently from my friend Mark Manley who said that he had cardboard and asked if I would like it.  It was beautiful.  Flat, seamless, large panels.  I mean, just look at them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/www.albertzone.com\/halloween\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2023_01_Beautiful-Cardboard-1024x614.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.albertzone.com\/halloween\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2023_01_Beautiful-Cardboard-1024x614.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.albertzone.com\/halloween\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2023_01_Beautiful-Cardboard-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/www.albertzone.com\/halloween\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2023_01_Beautiful-Cardboard-768x461.png 768w, https:\/\/www.albertzone.com\/halloween\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2023_01_Beautiful-Cardboard-135x80.png 135w, https:\/\/www.albertzone.com\/halloween\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2023_01_Beautiful-Cardboard.png 1109w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And in that box?  More flat, seamless large panels! (and I can even use the box!).  Beautiful.  Simply beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Needless to say, a big &#8216;thank you!&#8217; to Mark.  We will take your offering and turn them into Camelot, a Trojan Rabbit, knight&#8217;s shields, swallows, angels, the Holy Grail and even God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Because of the &#8216;backyard circus in the front yard&#8217; nature of our Halloween house, I have been in the cardboard acquiring business for many years&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3728,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[368],"tags":[53,374],"class_list":["post-3736","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-368","tag-cardboard","tag-materials"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.albertzone.com\/halloween\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3736","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.albertzone.com\/halloween\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.albertzone.com\/halloween\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.albertzone.com\/halloween\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.albertzone.com\/halloween\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3736"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.albertzone.com\/halloween\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3736\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3737,"href":"https:\/\/www.albertzone.com\/halloween\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3736\/revisions\/3737"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.albertzone.com\/halloween\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3728"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.albertzone.com\/halloween\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3736"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.albertzone.com\/halloween\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3736"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.albertzone.com\/halloween\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3736"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
