I just finished framing a 7'' female Nephila Maculata from east java.
This time, I made the shadow box myself using an old frame and styrofoam. Pretty happy with the results. I unfortunately don't have pictures documenting the process.

Meh
No halloween party for David.
Gah, and my neo-victorian vampire costume is so fucking PERFECT!
Instead of being covered in dirt and alcohol, it'll be gathering dust until I need it for a photoshoot with my friends.
What a sad life for a costume.

Fairy corpse tutorial
The always interesting Cobwebs at Shadowmanor recently posted a great, fun tutorial on how to create a mummified fairy corpse using a twist on basic corpsing techniques (techniques that I shall soon cover in depth for your instruction and enjoyement).
The results, as you can see, are great, the tutorial is easy to follow, and it'll look terribly good in your wunderkammer!

Val Jalbert
Look at these pictures. It's a ghost town called Val Jalbert (Jalbert's Hollow) lost in the woods of Lac-St-Jean, about an hour from my town.
This village was deserted about 85 years ago. Many of the most important buildings and of the hundreds of houses are still standing, although there are many ruins here and there. Beautiful, but you'll admit that it looks quite eerie.
Now imagine the same setting in fall, when the trees are without any leaves and stand naked and dark against the buildings and the desert road.
Imagine this village at night, lit only by the moon and a couple of lamp posts, the woods dark and ominous, and the buildings standing out bluish and ghastly from the shadows.
That's downright creepy, huh?
Well, that's great, because that's where I'll be spending my halloween night, getting drunk and partying for hours with my friends and a bunch of people I still don't know yet. Hell yeah!

Got my DVD!
I finally received and watched Christian Hanson's DVD "Make your own Scratch Built Corpse"!
I have to say that I can't wait to get started on my own corpse head.
His methods are simple, inexpensive, and terribly detailed. Everything is clear and precise, you don't need much artistic talent to pull it off, and the materials are very easy to find.
I'm especially impressed by the way he makes teeth for his corpses. Terribly simple, but so realistic! I think the DVD is worth it's price just for this simple trick.
I'm not fond of the not-so-subtle acting and comedy skits between the different chapters, but it's nonetheless a very usefull and high quality product.
Great for movie makers on a budget and home haunters!
Oh, and Hanson sure is handsome with his rockin' friendly mutton chops.
