Creepy Creek Farm

This display is an extension to my Down On The Farm mantle display. I wanted to experiment with my puzzle platform design by making puzzle shaped platforms that are placed together to form a large rolling landscape. I began designing my display around my House In The Woods platform that you see here in the middle of this display.

"Halloween Town Pumpkin Statue"

I had intended to do a cute display based on a Disney movie called Halloween Town. It stars Debbie Reynolds, then child stars Kimberly J. Brown and Joey Zimmerman. One thing i wanted to recreate was the pumpkin statue that is in the town square at Halloween Town.

"Moon Over My-Village"

This is a must have for any village display. If you have not seen this before you will be amazed on how realistic this moon is. Moon In My Room is made by Uncle Milton at http://www.unclemilton.com. It's meant for a child's educational toy, but who would have known that it could be used for other things like a village display.

It is about twelve inches in diameter that comes with a remote with several settings including on/off, manual moon phase or auto moon phase. It will also shut off after one half hour of inactivity. Several stores including Walmart sell them for $20.00.

"The Fundamentals Of Dry Brushing"

Why base coat? Base coating is the essential part of your project especially when using the dry brush technique on your styrofoam and wood products. Most acrylic paints are opaque especially the Ceramcoat products. Even though the FolkArt paints have a more denser consistency they will still take on the hue of the base coat.

"Spooky Wall Tutorial"

This project is very easy to do. If you stay with it you can get this done in a day. This is a mini tutorial in which you will need to refer to my perfect straight cut tutorial on my Christmas blog link located on this blog.
