This is amazing glimpse into the life of Edgar Allen Poe. If you are a Poe fan it is a definite watch.

Killer Candles
In my last post I shared with you one of my Candle Pumpkins so this time I am sharing some of my stand alone Candles.
Both pumpkins and candles are made from the same process, paper mache, paper clay and re-purposed paper towel rolls and anything else I desire to use. If you would like to see more on how I create the candles you can read my DIY Candle How To here. Unfortunately the internet is not equipped with a feature that allows one to handle them because these candle are truly amazing, after seeing them and touching it one would definitely find it hard to imagine that they are made from a simple cardboard paper towel roll.
This is the top of the candle it holds a battery operated tea light so there isn't much concern that it can catch fire. Although if you do not have that concern the tea light is removable and will fit a wax tea light. Not that I am suggesting it, this is just for info purposes only. I personally feel better not having to worry about someone knocking one over while I am not watching.
The face features a cut out just like on a traditional Jack o lantern.
This is the bottom where the light box is attached which not only lights up the inside of the candle but it makes a great stand for the candle.
The light box changes color making for a spectacular light display the inside of the candle I make white which reflects the color better.
In this picture I bounced light off of it from an outside source. There are so many ways to display these, they are just as creepy with the lights on as in the dark.
If you have any questions I love to share so feel free to ask.
Enjoy!

Coming Soon
Here is a sneak peek at some of the items, handmade props, home and haunt decor that will be available in my new store Haunted Woodland Of Weir On Etsy when it opens this month.
This is one of my pumpkin sculptures. One picture shows how it looks in the light and the other in the dark with color lights projecting on it. I have had a lot of request for these and I am happy to finally be able to make them available to those who want them.
The next two pictures are of a table topper which I have made from re-purposed items. I will be sharing more on my creative process later for those who are interested. The table topper features a skull in which I sculpted. It also has several black roses that I made from monster mud and black glitter. The candles are made from paper rolls and have plastic tea lights instead of real wax candles so one does not need to worry about the fire risks. The tea lights are removable and replaceable.
I am very excited about and looking forward to getting Haunted Woodland of Weir up and running. I hope you will stop by for a visit.

Giant Pumpkins
My latest project is two giant pumpkins one of which is almost ready for the finishing touches, paint effects! Made with paper mache and homemade paper-clay. They stand 29" tall which is 2 1/2 feet high and are 81" around, almost 7 feet around when finished.
Finished pictures will be posted so check back.
The bottom three pics are the pumpkins in paper form. The above pic shows what they look like once the clay has been applied.
If you have any questions/ comments about this project or any other you see here on my site please feel free to contact me. I would be happy to answer or to assist you in creating your own paper mache projects.

Finally Finished Mr Fangs

I have much more to make before it is all done and the big night is here. Next project will be up soon.

Headless... well kind of
A little update on Mr Fangs he is coming a long perfectly! Thought I would share some pic's of him while he hangs around drying. He is such a show off removing his head like that.... Here he is sun bathing on the very hot concrete patio in the backyard.

Tree Crawler
This is what I am working on now, it's a tree hugger. This dead guy will be crawling down the the tree trunk in my yard this Halloween to creep out anyone who dares come close. The skull I finished a few weeks ago, that part is done. His body I am making from rolled up paper and cardboard. As soon as I finish him I will post the pic's.
