Fantastic gift

She'll look so good in my grave yard on Halloween night. I had to pay a little over $160.00 with shipping. I'm starting to think I should of made my own. Arrrgh.

Wow, she's so awesome! It's great when your parents understand your love of Halloween so much, they give you an early B-Day present.

Would you mind taking more pics of her dress? I dunno if she's be worth the $$$ to get her.

Mistress of the Abyss: In regards to if she is worth $130? I'd have to ask, is it worth your time to make her or just get it over with and get her. The design is unbelievably simple and the materials are easy to come by or make. I do believe the money is worth it for the shear brilliance of the design. For such a simple concept she can really spook you out. She's been in my front hallway for four days now and each and every time she makes me take in my breath when I first catch a glimpse. That form is SINISTER!

For those of you who are inspired to make her I'm more than happy to describe her construction. Feel free to ask.

Okay, more pictures of her dress:



I pulled back her veil so you can get a better look at it. The dress is simply two layers of dark gray cheesecloth. It is roughly gathered around her neck. The bottom of the dress isn't hemmed.



Here is a close-up of her sleeves. Again, they are made up of two layers of cheesecloth that is roughly gathered around her wrist and the material is long enough that it can drape down over the hem.






Here is a picture of her veil with one of the layers of cheesecloth pulled up so you can get a better feel of the material:







Here is a picture of the back of her veil. The two layers of cheesecloth is hemmed at the top to make a cape-like veil:






Here is another picture of her from the side with the second layer of her veil put back in place:



This also has a great shot of her hands. Those are the scariest hands ever!

For those of you who are concerned about her dress:

I just discovered that the two layers of cheesecloth were stuck together really good. I just pulled them apart and the dress flows A LOT better. I also think if you iron or steam the material a bit it will also drape better. The material is pretty wrinkled out of the box and I didn't do much to her before I took these pictures.

The full side profile of her is really nice...it kind of makes me reconsider my previous posts...I hate to be bothersome in asking, but can you take a pic of her in dim light so we can see her form as well as her glowing under "real life" conditions...

Don't even worry about asking for more pictures. It's easy for me to talk her up, I didn't pay for her. Coughing up $130 is tough for this one. I understand totally.

Since it's morning, I tried to find the darkest corner in my house so I hope this is dark enough. Also, you can see her dress is more fluffed out since I discovered you have to pull apart the two layers of cheesecloth:

As far as how it looks glowing, at the GrandinRoad site, they have a "Watch it Work" video and that's pretty much exactly how she looks glowing. Here's a link:

More Info: Glowing Cloaked Woman

Now that I have her in a dark corner and she's still glowing, it's a pretty neat effect. Very spooky.... At first, I didn't want her to change colors either. I just wanted her evil red but the color-changing is growing on me. It gives her a more mystical effect. If you want to have her only be red, I would think it would be an easy change out with a red LED battery kit.

There are changing color skulls around that can be used for this if you want to make one, I have colored plastic ones that flash strobe lights as well. I have been holding onto a clear green plastic Vicks head display for many years and I think it would be great to make one of these with. How do you all think the gown should be...loose and flowy or monster-mudded stiff????

...OKAY...I am in love with it again...

~THANKS A LOT Terra~
