Props update

Been tidying up the garage and realized I need to show some things I completed and others that I'm working on. Some indoor seasonal decorations, haunt props, and some ideas I wanted to try. I am trying to make a commitment to work on something daily or at least weekly to keep the creative skills sharp. I keep a sketchbook and supplies in the truck so I can work on things at lunch breaks too. It definitely makes the day go buy faster and I feel accomplished at the end of the day.

Nosferatu head

Goblin head

Devil skull. Michael's foam skull

Mummified Goblin heads. Goodwill found glitter skulls, gorilla glue, wood, latex

Witch hand, Hand of Glory, Mummy hand. The witch hand was a  Michael's prop, Mummy hand on the right was an old prop made years ago out of hot glue and sculpey clay

Made from plastic skelly hand, clay, and latex. Inspired from Dave Lowe.

Mummy head carved from foam head

Corpse heads with stick noses. Inspired by Pumpkinrot's bucket witch, these were old yard haunt props I spruced up.

Prototypes and experimenting. Ancient alien artifacts and alien fetus mummies/homunculus creatures. 

        

Waiting for Santa

 

Well the cats haven't knock down the tree like we thought. Last year, totally. Santa is going to be happy! It took a while to get everything set up. Work has been really tough these past few months. And the future is uncertain the next couple of years. I am deciding if I need to go back to school or something and get another degree in a more stable career. In the meantime, I am messing around in the garage building some props to help relax.

 

This is a dollar store skull I made into a door hanger a while back. I almost threw it away after Halloween  during breaking down and storing everything but I love the screaming open mouth.  I am turning it into a mummified alien . A Roswell or ancient alien kinda artifact. I love the show Ancient Aliens. One of my favorites. What you see is a coating of gorilla glue to get a grizzled texture before adding laytex. 

 

I am also working on a Harry Potter-ish mummified goblin from a thrift store glitter skull find. Ears are from my old pirate captain skelly mask and a stick nose inspired by pumpkinrot. I am into goblins lately too after seeing some vintage Halloween prints with goblins. I was thinking of doing a goblin theme next Halloween maybe.
