Halloween

This is where I admit that I read the list wrong AGAIN, and did this one before the witch. Well, I guess it put me ahead.

A doll in a blue dress, sitting on a shelf. The doll has very long, pointed teeth, odd eyes, and a forked tongue about a foot long.

I once again do my thing where I forget to hit record, so you miss some coloring-in. Sowwy. I’m also good at starting recording when I think I’m stopping, but I will not include the footage of the desk while I’m off gathering pens.

I got tired of cutting out card components, and I already had some tags with neat backgrounds, so I switched to those. It’s a lot of fun to do a bunch of tags and put them on a ring. I have one from years ago with some great drawings. I still look at it.

I continued using the Posca pens with a little actual paint.

Drawing of a witch enjoying a soak in her cauldron. She has cucumber slices on her eyes, and beside her is a glass of wine and her hat.

I actually remembered to keep the camera on the whole time. But at the end I realized she needed steam lines.

This week’s video was a fun challenge. I had to sculpt a ghost dog in an interesting position. Even if it wasn’t entirely successful, there are context clues. I really enjoyed painting the little nighttime street scene.

Lots of clay, lots of paint, lots of terrible, terrible jokes.

Dark orange resin box with Halloween trinkets embedded in the bottom, with a vintage Halloween lid.

This week on My Messy Desk, I made a little trinket box from the 6-in-1 mold set by Little Windows. I am not sponsored by them, they just make wonderful stuff. I made the dish, then flipped the mold over to make the lid. It even had a template I could have used to cut the vintage Halloween image to the correct size, but I didn’t use it, because I didn’t notice it until I put the set away.

Of course, I made the whole thing twice, just not on camera. I wasn’t liking the first one anyway, then the image lifted on the lid, so it was a bust. Funny, I thought I was ahead of the game when I got started on Monday. Yeah, not so much.

This mold was a lot of fun, and I suspect it will be showing up again in the future.
