87 Days...

Busy little bee tonight. Worked for three straight hours after work. My hands are covered in glue and I can't feel my legs, but two heads down, four bodies, three more heads to go...

No pics as of yet, but this should tide you over for now.

88 Days...


This summer has been pretty brutal on my haunt production. Between the obnoxiously fluxuating, weekend-eating schedule of a pet sitter, The Brother moving to New York and working my 7th year with the Vienna Youth players as props mistress has NOT helped. Who wants to paint and glitter 30 massive fabric leaves when you've got corpsed minions awaiting second skins? And before I knew it, the countdown hit WAY past the panicking hour. Luckily, this weekend making toilet paper tube candle votives for Children of Eden, I got a small collection of light sources done, Jeepers got his face mached with layer #1, and minions 2&3 got heads. Not too bad, considering...


Still. 88 days? EEP!

105 Days...


About this time last year I was finding the kiddie horse in the trash while walking a Pomeranian names Princess who has since moved back to Michigan with her mom. I should visit the dumpster by her house more often-- thy always had useful things, but none more useful than inspiration. With that one stupid toy horse an entire Halloween theme was born. I then spent the next four months decapitating baby dolls, making tiny ghoul hands, going out every trash night to scout for oversized cardboard boxes to build a gothic playhouse and revamping a mobile with tiny, bite-sized demons for the Naptime Nook Cemetary. Ah, the memories...

This year it's all about gas masks and pigs heads.
Seems a natural enough transition to me...

108 Days


What I wouldn't give for a nice gloomy cold overcast day right now. We've had two straight weeks of sun and I've had it. The trees and grass have had it too, turning brown before the proper time. Not even given the chance to go in style, but wither and fall unceremoniously in the rotten, unforgiving sun.

I'm actually starting to tan too. *shudders*
It's just not right.

AUTUMN, where are you?!
