On my desk right now...

This little graveyard...

new graveyard

Made from sculpey and hand painted in acrylic. I finish them with a super matte varnish, that almost gives them a dusty look when dry. They are so cute and a bit wonky. I try to not to be too rigid when I sculpt them, keeps them fun (Yeah, I think they are fun!) but still real enough to be spooky. I want a halloween dollhouse!

The gravestones still need their little bases painted and signed, so they aren't quite ready to hit the shop yet. I will probably wait and photograph list these on Monday, because I can.

  2. When you make your halloween dollhouse, don't forget the zombies! Equally fitting, you can made little Sam and Dean burning corpses! Just an idea... hee hee.

  3. OOh pretty! I think it would look cool to have a few of them under a bonsai tree, as a mini graveyard.
    I hope you get around to doing a Halloween themed doll house. I had a big wooden doll house and was thinking of doing it up goth style, but I have too many plans for things to do that I never get around to doing them all... sigh.
