Then decorating it to look like a decorative beer stein, to hide the cuts I've made through it.</div><div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1566150321329"><br></div><div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1566150321346">However I also think it needs an appropriate sound effect. And In our intimate theater, I think the sound has to be from the object.</div><div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1566150383829"><br></div><div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1566150383845">So I'm trying to think of something I could put in the mug, to give it at least a little of the sound of a ceramic mug breaking. Of course, a ceramic mug doesn't have all the tinkling sounds of a wine glass. So maybe just something as basic as putting some wood weight in the base may help a bit to hide that this a plastic object.</div><div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1566150708896"><br></div><div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1566150710443">Any other suggestions?</div><div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1566150720882"><br></div><div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1566150721124">-joe</div></div><br>____________________________________________________________<br>For list information see <http://stagecraft.theprices.net/><br>Stagecraft mailing list<br>Stagecraft@theatrical.net<br>http://theatrical.net/mailman/listinfo/stagecraft_theatrical.net<br></div></div></body></html>
