Title: Arts, crafts, DIY totally useless but do it anyway.
Post by: MrPKitty on April 12, 2009, 10:44:13 am

I build things out of scrap wood.  Trays, stools, lop sided chicken houses.  I also build life sized Halloween figures, paint Halloween themed furniture and grow plants just for Halloween use.

I also have a room full of ceramic molds that I can't do anything with because as it turns out, I'm allergic to plaster dust.

I collect wild grapevine and make wreaths, trellises and arbors.   And I grow plants for use as Halloween decorations.

 :wave: I am an artist, who does a lot of different crafts.. But the one I am doing most now, are a thing I call 'dress bugs'... I put black widows, or other spiders or insects in a plastic heart shaped mold, and pour clear liquid plastic over it.. when it dries, I attach it to a pearl necklace... Belive it or not, my necklaces are verry pretty.

This was my first life sized figure.  She's just a basic PVC pipe frame with a foam head covered by a paper mache mask.

This year I plan to build a full body figure.

Did I mention I have no idea what I'm doing.
