...it's just too much TV.... "what was that noise??" ...nah, hearing things.... "look! Over there! Did you see it dash behind the trees?" ...just your imagination ..... After making the "romantic notion" and seeing the creepy half finished photo, I set out to make another scene. This one is a bit bigger at about 10" across and with a very different atmosphere. We start with some sticks as usual, some cutting and gluing and tweezers, and end up with a tiny Gothic mansion. Then add some colour, washed out green, brown, black and a touch light here and there. Set up on the hill, overlooking the path through the woods... the misty darkness falls.. The base is simple thin brown cardboard, dampened and formed over crumpled paper towel, with more paper towel used over the top to form rough hills. Scattered with woodlands greenery in darker tones. More coming...

Oh boy a house on haunted hill scene!!! Yup, think we'd watched Psycho around the time when I started this one. I googled haunted/old Gothic houses to get a vibe going but the house I made isn't modelled of any one in particular. I just made something that looked creepy in as small scale as I could manage. I've got plans to have the house lit from inside with led light. Some of the windows are open so there will be some eerie glow goin on when its done. Its been sitting on the bench for a while now, waiting for me to get the enthusiasm back to make the eleventy billion more trees it needs to be a proper haunted woods. Think I have more progress pics somewhere but not sure, will post if I do.

This is cool! Maybe later, add some wisps of cotton to simulate mist rolling through the undergrowth beneath the trees.
I have the Polar Lights Psycho house model somewhere. I might have to bring it out and start it after seeing this!
Keep plugging man!
