Bill really likes his Rockwell Jawhorse; and we could see why as it was quite useful for installing the lightbox.
Right now it's folded up. There should be a demo video, which I'll get uploaded later.
I painted this chipboard birdcage white, and then cut a hinged door. This view shows where it was cut.
Paint the wreath form with black acrylic paint. Set aside. You don’t have to get super-even coverage as most of the form will be camouflaged by the feather boa. While waiting for the paint to dry on the wreath, start working on the creepy eyeballs. Use a permanent marker to draw a circle with a little notch taken out of it (almost like a Pac-Man shape) in the middle of a Ping-Pong ball. This will create a catch-light in the eye which makes it look more realistic. Color in the shape. Choose an eye color (blue, green or brown) to make the iris. Follow the circle that you already created for the pupil with the colored marker. To complete the catch-light, create another notch in the iris, lined up with the notch you already made in the pupil. This should give you a full circle of white in between the pupil and iris. Add a darker color to the iris to create detail in the eye. If you started with light blue, use a darker blue to add extra lines and marks like a real iris. To make the eyeballs look a little creepy, use a red marker to draw veins on the side of the eyeball. Start at the bottom of the eye going upward toward the pupil and iris. Repeat the whole process until you have enough eyeballs.Add a bead of hot glue to a floral pin, and attach the floral pin to the back of the eyeball. Repeat for the rest of the eyeballs. When the paint on the wreath is dry, wrap the feather boa around it and secure it with floral pins. Using the pins on the back of eyeballs, attach the eyeballs randomly around the wreath.
Greet trick-or-treaters in style with your door wreath.
Janie and Triv replace a corroded, gummed-up bathroom sink faucet.
3/8 - Trivia holds the new "waterfall style" faucet in place while Janie tightens up the connections under the sink cabinet.
my own Medusa inspired Venetian mask concoction. I am very pleased with the product &the outcome. and I am very glad my cousin enjoyed her mask enough to commission me for it!
the mask consists of: paper mache clay, old wire hangers, newspaper, spray paint, fabric paint, black diamonds, gold flecks, and lots of spare time, sanity, and patience.
This cup hook holds the cord to the light box when not in use. I'll have to cap off the plug to keep things completely safe.
Hubble bubble pumpkin pot
1.Hubble. Toss the leeks, bacon and pumpkin together in a large microwaveable bowl. Dot the butter on top and cover the bowl with cling film or a plate. Pierce the cling film a couple of times if using and microwave on High for 5 minutes until everything’s hot and starting to cook.
2.Bubble. While the veg is cooking, bring a kettleful of water to the boil and make 700ml/11⁄4 pints stock using the cube. Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave and uncover, watching out for the hot steam. Tip in the rice and season with salt and pepper, then pour in the stock and stir to mix.
3.Worth the trouble. Cover the bowl with a fresh piece of cling film or the same plate and microwave on High for 10 minutes. Uncover and give it a stir, then microwave for 5-10 minutes until the rice is cooked. Leave to stand for 5 minutes before giving everything a final stir. Serve scooped straight from the bowl.
