I use ivy on my graveyard fence. My brick house is over grown with it, so I can just pull off however much I need.

That's a good idea. It sound so simple, I can't believe I didn't think of that. There's a tone of ivy in the woods by my house -- I should just go collect a whole bunch in October and drape it on some choice props!!

Thanks for the brain wake-up shake!

That is a good idea, I have moss all over the place.

Moss, moss, moss. Oh, did I say you should moss it?

Ok TK, so I just got back from the lake and I ran out to the garage and took some photos. I didn't want to put to much on them. In case it took away from the columns. I'm very happy with the results. Any suggestions I'll take.

Looks really good. I would maybe add some moss around the candle area. Just a thought.

have you thought about aging the candles, maybe rubbing them with brown paint or stain? They kind of look stark white against the columns.

Other than that, they look terrific! Nice work.

They look amazing!

13 Mummy -- while checking out your columns I snooped at your 2008 prop photos. Can you tell me how you aged the potion bottles? The glass looks so cool!

I will try that. =) Thanks.

I didn't make those bottles, I got them when I bought my autopsy table from a sale from the movie "A Haunting in Conneticuit." They filmed the movie in my city. Thanks!
