"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.

"The Witches Are Real In"

This is the second in the Witches Haunt series from Department 56. Featured here in my "Three Witches Nook" is "Three Witches Caldron Haunt" and "Fire Burn & Caldron Bubble". Each caldron changes colors from purple, orange and green.

"Beware! Keep Out! Go Back! Oh My!"

Here is a simple base design using two inch styrofoam, Woodland Scenics Ground Cover and assorted Halloween Village accessories.

"Last Drop Stop"

Here is another Haunted Western piece i just finished. There will be three in this series. These are just prototypes. They are a little larger scale then the Ghost Town pieces so i will be redoing these to fit the scale to the buildings.
