I don't see a prop thread anywhere, so I figure I'll start one here.

I made some fake rocks for my cemetery:

And finished up my skull project for my scarecrow for this year:

Ghostess,

You made awesome props!! I really liked them very much! I think I am going to do the rock props myself this year, well, not so sure about skull head prop because I have plenty of skulls and skeletons in the barn. :lol:


Anyways, what else are you going to do to make another prop for this year? Maybe some more props?

I've got a whole pirate crew to make, and a replica of Davy Jones (the Cthulhu version from PotC), a mermaid, a ship.... the list goes on...
Plus all new tombstones with pirate epitaphs, a tree for my dining room to replace the one I took apart, a tree stump for my trash can trauma that I made with the Florida Haunters Group, plenty of groundbreaker corpses, etc. I have a LOT of props to make this year. THat's the only bad part about changing themes from year to year.

I'm pretty sure you are the most talented Halloweiner I have EVER SEEN.

(Either that or you really ARE a witch, and all this is accomplished with a flick of the wand, and the how-to pics are just to throw us off the trail....) :lol:

I've been bugging the husband to buy another storage shed for behind our house. We live in a town house, so there isn't a huge amount of storage, and most of it is already taken up by my Halloween stuff. :? But ghostess has inspired me, especially the papier mache stuff, and I need a space big enough to a) work on it and 2) store it. SO another small building out back sound about right to me :D

THank you everybody. :)

MHooch-- you can NEVER have enough storage!! If I could, I'd have a huge shed outside, one big enough to have a work bench and stuff in with air conditioning. Sometimes I really hate living in a neighborhood with a HOA and rules.

We just finished a second 10x10 storage shed but more to the subject all props are currently in a partially finished state and hiding in the corner refusing to come out and have their picture taken.

WOW Ghostess, those Rock! :lol: :lol: No really, they're awesome, you are very talented and artisic!

Didn't know wherelse to post this so here it is: I recieved an email notice from Fright Catalog today about their sale and I just wanted to let every one know that it says their Early Halloween sale ends on July 15th, so I thought some of you might want to check their site out :wink:

Ok, so I can honestly say that I am becoming certifiable here soon! :twisted: I am trying to really get my garden looking good and I need Michael's to bring out their Halloween Decor so I can accomplish my goals :lol: Man I hope they tell me its out when I call next week. Why next week, well Hubby leaves to go back to work 3am Friday Morning, well ok maybe I'll call on Saturday :lol:

Has anyone noticed any Michael's down there with their Halloween stuff out yet?
