Happy Halloween! (Page 3 of 5)

That hand sounds awesome!! I got some skull-type ones last year that I didn't burn, I intend to use them this year. Plus I have some stick candles that are white and drip blood as they burn, got those two years ago. I haven't really seen anything like that this year though.

Something similar I saw at Wal-Mart were these candies that were gummy hands with crunchy bones inside. There were feet and fingers too. I didn't get any.

No idea how to make candles though, especially layered ones like that, I would assume that would be hard.

My cats have learned about fire. One burned her nose a tiny bit the other singed a whisker and now they stay far away from flames. *shrug* Not really anything I could have done about that, pyromania being what it is.

(note: I didn't really do it to them on purpose, I was just showing them fire and I didn't know they'd lean in that close... guess it was kinda stupid though)

No jock, my dog was so smart that he could hold a taper candle in his mouth when we went trick-or-treating until the point that it got too close to his mouth and then he would drop it and let us put another one in to replace it. He was sooo smart. This dog could climb ladders and he could just feel when you had had a bad day. Okay, I'm going to stop now because I am about to cry thinking about my childhood dog.  But the candle thing...WOW, it surprised us all...and the crazy thing is that one year he just suddenly picked up a candle, unlit, and followed us when we left the house to get the goods. I think that year I was a terrorist because the older brother in E.T. was going as one. What a stupid kid I was

Double post but whatever, it's been two days.

Anyways, I know what I'm going to carve now. It shall be a secret for the moment, in case someone here will actually find what I'm carving to be awesome, I want it to be a surprise.

On that note, does anyone know how to do those partial carved things? Y'know, when you get through the outerskin, but not all the way through to the inside. No one has EVER told me how to do that and it's very frusterating and limiting, so any help is appreciated.

Also, we got little Halloween lights for the first time and put them up in the front of the house, it's awesome. Gives it an extra touch of Halloween.

That tool has something scary Zivi. I hate when a program takes control of my mouse.

I had to share this. Found it on the web when I looked up "carving a pumpkin" for Cecilia.

For carving pumpkins, Cecilia, what I'd do is, make a drawing, buy pumpkins, buy a set of wood-carving tools (or even pumpkin carving tools if there is), and try away.

A pumpkin has a particular hardness, shape and texture, you'll need to experiment a bit to get to what you want. I'll have to do the exact same myself as I never carved one. I don't even know what face I'll carve on it. But I won't try to make a masterpiece with my first one, lol.

I love you. I totally forgot about that.

Here's my pumpkin. I wanted to show it glowing, but the picture came out blurry.... I also had to lay on the ground to do it as well.

I just hope at least one person here knows who Scrooge McDuck is....

Those are pics from my Halloween. There was something on the camera that blurred some of the pictures, but it's ok. The video at the end is not the best quality, and my house is disgusting, but it gets the point across. I've been working on a moonwalk to go with it but I'm not that good at that part yet. And by this point in the day my ankles were getting tired so that's why my toestands aren't lasting as long as they would normally last. Plus I'm fairly new to this, only been doing it a month or so.

So, my dress was made by me, draped my own pattern and did it on the bias. I also made my head ornament which I see I forgot to take pics of. The choker is just a piece of lace I had laying around that I tied around my neck. The arm warmers were white and I dyed them to make them darker. For my husband's costume we bought the suit, shirt, and tie, I made the arm band and handkerchief. We hemmed his pants up so you could see his red socks, but he kept ripping the hem out somehow. We also put eyeliner on him but you can't really see that in the pictures. We also have tape on his fingers but you can't really see that either unless you look close. It's on his right hand. My dress, also, is has sparkles all over it but you can't really see them well.

My husband's pumpkin turned out great but I don't like mine.

Great idea Cecilia, that's cool. Wish we could see clearerly.

And that's an awesome dress, Miba. It's incredible that you can craft clothes for yourself like that. I didn't know. You're really good!

My friends didn't dress much at the party at my house yesterday. I've been a zombie for a change, was easy to do and fun. Usually I'm one of the KISS guys, and that can take me up to 2 hours just for the makeup, depending on who I am impersonating.

Next year with my friends we're all going to dress as Zombies and instead of just watching horror movies at home we'll go out and scare people in the streets, lol.
