Subtitled "the ramblings of an halloween haunter"

Actually I have two projects in mind, one being a revamp of my Scarecrow and a new coffin dweller. At present my dweller is made up of a Dollar Tree Mask and packing peanut hands, which don't cut it anymore.

So, I will be working on some skeleton parts.

I have plenty of foam skulls so don't need to worry about any skull casting.

The hands of the scarecrow will come from last year's ...

Well, I found a problem with my tombstone how to.

I have been working on my latest stone, I had the design worked out, had that all masked up.

For the lettering on the name, I printed out the name in a large font, cut out the letters and placed them in position on the tomb.

The rest of the lettering was put in place.

I was quite happy with the look of the design, etc, so proceeded to the next step.

Now let this be a word ...

Well I have 2 days off work ... the first day I will do some of the honey do jobs, the second day I hope to be able to spend on some halloween stuff!

I have been wanting to put together an how to on a tombstone making technique, which is how I hope to spend the day ... Also working on the scarecrow from last year...

SO this year I will concentrate on adding more to the graveyard and upgrade one or two of the previous years props.

First on the list has to be an entrance to the graveyard, so I will be looking to build ...
