A little paint and some kitchy bat fabric turned my grandmother's old teal and print chair into a great place of repose outside.
Black glitter bat masquerade mask.
I like to call him Mr. Bone Jangles. A paper printable toy from: http://ravensblight.com/papertoys.html
Dracula cross in Sculpy.
Elizabeth Bathory, an historic Hungarian countess with vampiric tendencies. Now a "haunted portrait" using a clever method I found on the net at: http://www.madhauscreative.com/haunted%20portrait.html. Unfortunately the tutorial has recently been taken down because some jackass copied this artist's work onto DVDs and is illegally selling it on eBay. I want just want to voice my outrage and let anyone who might read this blog that this kind of behaviour is despicable! ...Okay, outrage over for now.
Flapping paper bat toy again from http://ravensblight.com/papertoys.html
My own little gallery of ghoulish paintings and curios.
First graveyard site. This year my wicked witch sports some awesome new curled-toe gams.
More graveyard goods.
And even more grave goodies.
They might be cheapie knock-offs of the better Haunted Portraits, but I like 'em just the same.
Okay, this cube might not open the gates of Hell, but for a 4x4 block of wood and some acrylic paint it's pretty hellish, yes?
Say hello to Mort. He's a bit Grim, if you know what I mean.
A drawing model hand wrapped in rags. Such an easy prop.
This is one of my favorites for this year. Just some black paper and tape, but it's so very effective I may have to make more.
A Oriental Trading Company skeleton garland jazzed up with shredded black tulle and tons of spider webs.
Say hi to Slim. He's just hanging out in my front window.
My new and improved spider-ific wreath.
Here's Vlad. He's another "haunted portrait" made from the tutorial mentioned above under the Elizabeth Bathory picture. It has cut-out eyes behind eye holes to make it look like his eyes follow you around the room.
I needed a little something extra in these frames for this time of year. My black and white sea scape photos just weren't very creepy so some printouts of x-ray images make a quick and easy Halloween update.
Hopefully there will me something else to share before Halloween arrives, but for now I bid you adieu.
