Your first one looked more like stone but the second one looks more like wood & I like it alot, but agree with adrian why did you not go with wood & a router? Witchy

The sign looks good, Spooky.
It kind of reminds me of the Camp Crystal Lake sign.

here it is with the white-wash on it



Originally I was going to to go with wood but, I saw a how-to on making it out of foam and this was easier and faster. I would never have been able to carve that lettering with a router.

Wood was what I was going for and the first sign just didnt look right.

Belladonna, funny you mention camp crystal lake sign, thats the look I was going for basically.

[Spookymufu]

this is what we're going for.....

That looks fantastic.

Where did you get that cool lantern?

[Spookymufu]

thanks, I got this one at party city for $14.99, between the two I have, I like this one better. I got the other one at Spirit also for $14.99 but it's an incandescent bulb and the lantern has blood all over it.....I might repaint it after halloween

Looks great! If you do anymore wood fabricating you might try adding dull greens for a moldy look. Keep your eyes out at FAMILY DOLLAR for those lanterns. I got mine for $2.99 Unfortunately they usually sell them in the spring for the bar-b-que crowd.

I liked it better before.

Ooops! Sorry. I thought it was a real oil lamp. That's what they were selling at FAMILY DOLLAR. When they have them they come in red,green, and unfinished steel.

I would love to have about 3-4 more but I just cant find any for a reasonable price...

[Corvus Kulde]

The Halloween shops are so expensive. Most of the props I have that I didn't make came from after Halloween sales. Getting to buy great stuff so cheap makes up for the holiday being over.

[MacPhantom]

Did you check Ebay? Check it once a week or so... Sometimes you'll find someone selling bits of their Halloween display, and you can find some good prices.

[Corvus Kulde]

And if you have any neighbors move abruptly holiday decorations are one of the first things to the curb. I will admit to a skeleton/gravestone set that used to live across the street.
