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.
