These are the two stories that I chose for my mashup.
THE DREAM
Lennie pleaded, 'Come on, George. Tell me, Please, George. Like you done before.’
‘You get a kick outta that, don’t you? Awright, I’ll tell you, and then we’ll eat our supper…’ George’s voice became deeper. He repeated his words rhythmically as though he had said them many times before. ‘Guys like us, that work on ranches, are the
Loneliest guys in the world. They got no family. They don’t belong no place. They come to a ranch an’ work up a stake and then they go inta town and Blow their stake, and the first thing you know they’re poundin’ their tail on some other ranch. They ain’t got nothing to look ahead to.’ Lennie was delighted. ‘That’s it – that’s it. Now tell how it is with us.’ George went on. ‘With us it ain’t like that. We got a future. We got somebody to talk to that gives a damn about us. We don’t have to sit in no bar room blowin’ in our jack jus’ because we got no place else to go. If them other guys gets in jail they can rot for all anybody gives a damn. But not us.’
Lennie broke in. ‘But not us! An’ why? Because…because I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you, and that’s why.’
He laughed delightedly. ‘Go on now, George!’ ‘You got it by heart. You can do it yourself.’
‘No, you. I forget some a’ the things. Tell about how it’s gonna be.’
‘OK. Someday – we’re gonna get the jack together and we’re gonna have a little house and a couple of acres an’ a cow and some pigs and …’
‘An’ live off the fatta the lan’,’ Lennie shouted. ‘An’ have rabbits. Go on, George! Tell about what we’re gonna have in the garden and about the rabbits in the cages and about the rain in the winter and the stove, and how thick the cream is on the milk like you can hardly cut it. Tell about that, George.’
‘Why’n’t you do it yourself? You know all of it.’
‘No … you tell it. It ain’t the same if I tell it. Go on… George. How I get to tend the rabbits.’
‘Well,’said George, ‘we’ll have a big vegetable patch and a rabbit hutch and Chickens. And when it rains in the winter, we’ll just say the hell with goin’to work, and we’ll build up a fire in the stove and set around it an’ listen to the rain comin’ down on the roof..........

THE PLOT
George & Joe have met up and decide to realize their dreams together as Rizzo & Lennie are both dead. But your dreams are never like you think they will be!
They both have their own idea of own place so I’ve chosen an island as it’s remote & contained so no one to bother them (It’s their dream, no one elses).
Dreams are usually surreal so I’m making the main object from Lennies’ dream (the rabbit) out of proportion, the cave is shaped like the rabbit which they are sitting inside of, his guilt over having to put Lennie down like an animal). is consuming him.
They are living in this cave so they have a fire which they are sitting around and reminiscing about the old days. The stories they tell will be told at random as they will take a piece of text out of a jerry can (in what ever order they come out). So each time it is played it will be slightly different

Here is the process I went through making my island I used MDF for a base then foam board to build it up by layers. After my first attempt with the pond curling up around the edges because I just used foam board. Lesson learnt I then used puff binder which is a print agent with inks to colour it for the water and also for texture on the rocks. I've added heat from a hairdryer which makes it swell and bubble. An easy quick affect. I've added fabric with PVA and also toilet paper for more texture (Blue Peter). Used scenic grass ,moss and gravels and from garden and kitchen brown sugar , sand , branches, pebbles rocks. painted it with acrylic and used uhuto glaze over the water make it look wet. I put a tea light sunk in ground for flames from fire. I'm quite pleased with the result as I've not done this before. It took two days to make , I enjoyed mucking in and doing it, unlike sketchup which took me ages mainly because I'm just getting my head around all this computer lark.
