Wire-frame and fiberglass holiday motif

A holiday motif, having a three-dimensional form visible to an interested viewer in proximity thereto, the motif comprising:

• a wire frame having wire members defining the three-dimensional form;
• a plurality of pinpoint light sources secured at spaced locations to the w ire members;
• at least one fiberglass portion having opposite inner and outer surfaces, the distance between the inner and outer surfaces defining a corresponding thicknesses of the fiberglass portion, which thicknesses may vary;
• wherein the fiberglass portion has been molded into a molded fiberglass portion so that the outer surface corresponds to a visible feature of the three-dimensional form;
• wherein the variations in thicknesses being sufficient to correspondingly vary the translucency of the outer surface of the fiberglass portion, the fiberglass portion having areas of lesser or zero thickness at selected areas to generate an aesthetic effect visible at night to the interested viewer when pinpoint lights are illuminated;
• wherein the wire frame has a feature location adapted to secure the inner surface of the fiberglass portion thereto and to orient and locate the outer surface of the molded fiberglass portion to render the visible feature viewable by the interested viewer;
• wherein the wire members of the wire frame extend, are located, are oriented, and are secured relative to each other so that the wire frame defines planar surfaces visible to the interested viewer of the three-dimensional form of the holiday motif;
• wherein the light sources are located on the wire members of the wire frame in amounts and with spacing selected to define a three-dimensional, pinpoint light pattern disposed on the planar surfaces defined by the wire frame;
• wherein a subset of the pinpoint light sources is positioned in visual proximity to the fiberglass portion;
• wherein the thicknesses of the fiberglass portion are selected to be translucent to the subset of light sources when illuminated;
• whereby the three-dimensional form of the holiday motif, including both the planar surfaces of the holiday motif defined by the wire frame and the visible feature defined by the fiberglass portion, are viewable by the interested viewer under daylight;
• and
• whereby, at night, the planar surfaces are visible as the pattern of lights thereon and the visible feature of the fiberglass portion is visible by translucence therethrough when the pinpoint light sources are illuminated;
• whereby aesthetic attributes of both the visible feature and of the holiday motif are conveyed both by day and by night;
• wherein the three-dimensional form comprises an animate figure;
• wherein the visible feature corresponds to an animate feature of the animate figure;
• wherein the outer surface of the fiberglass portion is characterized by a complex geometry, the complex geometry including multiple edges corresponding to the animate feature;
• wherein the inner surface of the fiberglass portion defines a concavity of less complex geometry than that of the outer surface;
• wherein the feature location of the wire frame to which the inner surface of the fiberglass portion is secured is defined by a portion of the wire frame members shaped to receive the concavity thereon, the portion of the wire frame members extending in a protrusion corresponding to the concavity;
• and
• whereby the geometry of the wire frame is simplified.
