Predictable, but cute, and very well done.

Howard Serlick casts body parts from live models, and makes some interesting and queerly beautiful jewelry in his Etsy shop, Not About Normal.
Cookie Cuff
He does a few non-body things. There are keys and bolts and bubble wrap.

But mostly it’s body parts. Don’t worry ladies, there are dicks, too.
Casting for fantasy armor
I think his pieces have an elegant, yet wonderfully primitive feel. He happily does custom orders, fetish work, and made-to-order sex toys. Items are cast mostly in urethane, with some silicon pieces. There is a ton more photos on his Facebook page.

Now that I’m sure it’s been received, I can post a little about what I did for the Secret Pumpkin exchange this year.
My Pumpkinee was Scott from Black Ops. He does a home haunt up in the Great White North (for those in Europe, I mean Canada, not, say, Greenland). Plan A was an enormous foam prop, of course, because my first thoughts always go to foam. But I still can’t find my preferred medium locally, and shipping something that was gonna be four feet tall or so would be, er, prohibitive. Instead, I decided to do my first-ever electronics project. I’d had this tutorial by Stiltbeast on my to-do list for a while.
If there’s one thing a haunt always needs, it’s lights. These little spotlights looked like just the thing.
All the local garden stakes were solid plastic, so I went for PVC instead, which was even cheaper and allowed me to stuff some extras in the kit. I put together a kit with 15 spotlights and everything to wire them up. Sent it all off and realized I didn’t take a pic. Luckily, Scott took a nice unboxing photo:
So yeah, now I can do electronics. A little.
Just a little silliness today. The delightful, animated opening credits from 1963’s The Old Dark House.

I almost never do challenges. In fact, I’m not sure I’ve ever done a challenge at a website before, but I couldn’t resist this months call-out at Haunted Design House.
They asked for an item that either took just one day to make, or involved words. I can never be counted on to finish a thing in one day, so I went for the inclusion of words. Here is my Beautiful Death Cuff.
I’m a terrible tailor, but I still had fun sewing this together, adding a little bead embroidery and a shabby flower, and making some charms.
I made sure the backs of the charms were pretty, as they move around during wear. How do I know? Because as soon as it was finished, I couldn’t resist wearing it to the movies. It is felt lined and very comfy.
It has its flaws–the button holes are a mess–but overall, I love this thing, and I’ll probably wear it often.
