Haunted Design House

Welcome back for the second week of the Macabre Monday Deja-Vu Doo challenge .  That's right, you have another week to play along with us. We're looking for a new project featuring a previously used technique, supply, idea, whatever, and use it in a new, creative way.  Creepy Glowbugg Here's what I did.  I previously made this box: An altered paper mache box with feet. And this time, I made this box:  Altered wooden, coffin shaped box, with feet. Get the idea we're after here? How about what  Devilishly Deviant Donna  made? Previous project  An altered papier mache skull And this time  A metallic steampunk altered papier mache skull I hope today's inspiration pieces have helped to coax your mojo out of hibernation.  C'mon! Play with us!

Since the Mistress chooses not to manage her time properly... a little Wicked Wednesday in-lieu-of  Macabre Monday ;) HDH #177:  Dimensional Hallowe'en Please see all details & link up your own creation   HERE .  This challenge is being sponsored by: Without fu rther ado...

Thought that the horror of being burried alive was fictional? Well, I'm afraid not, here are 10 cases of people who were actually buried alive, and regained consciousness trapped in their own coffins READ THE LIST

Some of you were asking about the Halloween swag I scored this weekend, so here a couple of photos. All of this came from Michael's or HomeGoods stores. The REALLY cool candelabra & owl will be shown after I work my crafty magic :) Paper mache skull & skull mask, masonite skull panel, skull punch (are you seeing a pattern here?), skull votive holder, coffin boxes, wooden bats, skeleton & house, gothic looking jewels, and an uber-cool gothic looking candle holder. Pretty sweet, right? I've got some ideas kicking around for the paper mache skulls & wooden coffin boxes already... those should be fun ;) I've already painted & crackled one of the bats in anticipation for SOMETHING... I love getting down & dirty with craftiness. That's it for my first shopping of the season. And there is so much more out there that I want... I've been told to get to Pottery Barn immediately for the creepy goodness... hmmm... what days to I HAVE to work?
