I finally finished the Haunted book to my liking.
I've changed the rings on the spine to be aged gold metal by applying the same technique of paper towel and glue, spray painting gold, then brushing watered down black latex paint and toweling it off.
I also added a book mark. This was made from a piece of craft foam (dollar store strikes again), some watered down black paint and generous use of a lighter to add texture
Let me know what you think.

My First Online Purchase
Never having purchased anything online before, I was excited to buy some Halloween treats for myself and my guests for the upcoming celebrations. Through SpiritHalloween and the help of a friend, I ordered the following gelatin moulds for my creepy dinner.

For the meatloaf course, a hand mould

Here's the progress of the Haunted book I've been making. Though my little camera has no flash, it's a good little effect for a book like this, especially in a badly lit basement.
First shot is close to front on. I have it drying on a modified rack I made from an old metal mirror frame that bent into a curved table.

Future Ideas
I've always been fascinated with Ouija Boards. We never had one growing up, but I've never felt that purchasing one was any different than trying to use a Monopoly board (which was manufactured at the same plant).
I've always felt that making my own would seem more....well, me.
I do understand the history and role of the Ouija oard, and I don't plan on having many seances in the near future.
Either way, here's one that I like. Link is here
