The Haunted Library is located in Fenwright Manor, just behind those pocket doors in the foyer. Don't you just love the smell of old books? Actually it's just a how- to index

Pinecone Centerpiece

Pinecone Centerpiece Concept


I have been wanting to do this project ever since seeing a similar decoration on a cooking show in December 2018.  It consists of  three Dave Lowe style cardboard paper towel tube candles, various pinecones, and three Christmas tree ornaments. This centerpiece could be a wonderful addition to your holiday decor.

Halloween

 


Phantom of The Opera



Phantom of The Opera costume from Halloween 2000.

Here is a backstory:

A gifted composer has a chance to make it as the organist for the opera house,  he even asks for help from the wealthy  owner of the opera house, by giving the owner his concertio as a way to get in, when the composer, whom I named Erik Charierre returns a week later and finds he was lied to.   The owner  acts like he never met Erik before, and throws him out. Upon being thrown out, the police arrest Erik for a murder he was framed for.                                                                                                                    Erik Spends three years on Devil's Island before escaping.  After returning to Paris, Erik searches out info on the guy who had wronged him.   Erik breaks into a music sheet printing factory and finds copies of his concertio piece with  the Opera  House's owner's name on it.  Erik tries to destroy the printing plates acid splashes back at him and he reels back into the burning sheet music...


Here's Phantom of the Opera Overture I used as inspiration for the set up.

And Here's Phantom of the Opera by Iron Maiden.

It's Halloween ( and ya feel like dancin')

 Over the past few years, I have been through a sort of a Halloween revival. Slowly rebuilding what I have done before.  Here are a few pics from last year that got the wheels turning.  And "Halloween" by The Dead Kennedys, which is a new anthem going forward.🎃

Assembling "Jack O' The Lantern" (10th Anniversary post)

                                  
Today is the tenth anniversary of this blog.  I had hoped to post more often, but there have been too many setbacks. With that being said I decided to make a video of me assembling the " Jack O' The Lantern" project. There is no audio because I hope the video will speak for itself.
