We've finished all but the 2 ends on my tomb, and with nicer weather, I moved it out to do a test on the lawn for the first time. 

It failed utterly. 

It works fairly well on concrete.

However, when it's put on the grass, there's simply not enough of a gap on the bottom for the fog to get out. 

So, I see 3 means of fixing this. 

1, simply lengthen the legs so I get that gap.

2, related, add a sheet of plywood to the bottom so it keeps the present gap no matter where I put it. 

3:  My son's idea.  Drill holes into the back of the hoods on the pleurant (the little reaperish guys) so the fog comes out their faces.  (though, this would also work so it comes out the bottom of their robes)





So, what do you guys think would be the best solution?

The plywood, probably.  The holes drilled in the pleurants might be more theatrical, so much depends on how overtly theatrical you want to be...

Mostly been doing yardwork lately.  Teaching my son what it's like to work, waking him up at 6AM on the weekends to go out, cut sod, till dirt, etc.

We probably have 1-2 more weekends of that left.


Placed a massive order for more foam coating, and have the 2 transi ready to attach.  Realistically could finish the tomb (aside from painting) in a day or two once it gets here.  And, I need to get that coating on sooner rather than later just to prevent damage.

Awkward positioning required I stand my tomb on end to work on it tonight, and had to get the ladder out to reach properly.  I got a glimpse out of the corner of my eye and looked up....

tell me this is not a SIGN.









Aint they cute?

Spiders are one of the two things I'm forbidden from incorporating for Halloween.  I mostly just pester my wife and brother with them. 


It's too bad too.  I left the prototype "Them" out in the yard ON so the boss could see it when she drove home at 3 AM.  Think cocooned trick or treaters still fighting against the webbing. 

yeah, that's been forbidden...for now.  I'm still working it...slowly. 


The other thing isn't worth the fight.  (bat people from beastmaster)

My wife.  THE BOSS.  Boss is a sorta pet name for her as well, and I've made the kids well aware mom's THE BOSS, and what she says goes.  I'm the enforcer, and no one mouths off to the Boss.  In reality we're more equal partner than any couple I've seen, but that's probably largely due to our schedules.  She didn't like Halloween at all till I started this yard stuff.  Then, being another Gemini, she's come to really love the attention.  The party part is mostly her planning.  Trick or Treat is mine.   

Anyway.  I promise some new pics (after) this weekend, but in the mean time:



Do you think I need some embelishments either over the pleurant, or the arches?

...If you can think of something that would go with the design, I don't know that this sort of thing can be too busy.

Kyle dropped the lid.   ???  Shattered. 

Trevor was only mildly damaged, but it's a significant setback.

Daughter's Dance recital this weekend.








Also got sidetracked and played a short game entirely about tombstones.







Which naturally got me toying with the idea.

been in a funk since the lid broke. 

Finally got around to building a new one, have started painting it, and it's coming together nice.  Embedding cheese cloth into the paint (a masonry sealer, super thick, has sand in it, looks like stone) to give it some protection as well.  Going to have to break out some more cheese cloth/cotton balls to alter the sculpt some, as there's areas I just can't get the brush into, and they need to be waterproofed if nothing else. 

Try to get some pics up.

I'm in the house alone this week, and just have to get out, so I'm heading south for a while.

I'll look forward to seeing more...

Those funks are bad news; for what it's worth, I'm rooting for you.
