Frankenstein Dress Tutorial


Found this great Frankenstein style dress make over at Shadow Manor. Just a few runs through with a sewing machine and a bit of fabric paint and you're ready to go.
I'd like to try adapting this technique to an apron made of skin or something along those lines.

Potential Candidate for the Creative Armada

The CarveWright Model-C is a neat little CNC router-carver-toy-thing that I want to add to the Creative Armada.
It's such a great little toy (though it does take a bit away from hand craftsmanship, which I generally hate) that carves out 3D designs from wood using milling techniques and it totally automatic.
I first saw this on StilitBeasts Studio's today where he deomnstrated it's functions and basic operation. He intends on making vampire hunter boxes/kits (which strangely enough when I first saw the finished product was my first inclination to use it for).

Cast pewter Clasps

Came across this great tutorial  over at instructables.com for casting your own pewter jacket clasps. 
Pretty thorough instructions, but my fav part is showing a failure of casting and then a quick remedy.

New Texture Resource

I just found this great website called Lost and Taken , a great resource for textures.


Quick view of My Studio


Laptop, scanner and dresser full of wonderous things. Ok. Things I pick up on the ground and intend to glue into something mind-boggling.


My light table for tracing and finer paint work (old X-ray viewing light rescued and modified from the hospital) with a new 4 foot fluorescent  light installed, my paints (arranged chromatically, the only thing actually organized), and my current project (a 3/4 shaman mask with antlers).


Paints, moveable media cart, airbrush and paints.Resin shelf holds my airbrush and acrylic paints, wires, twines, strings, dremel tools and electronics.


Main work desk. Just finished making a miner helmet (hanging on the wall, top of frame)


Sewing area. Mum's old sewing machine and supplies, tailor form custom made from tape (soon to try adding resin/fibreglass to it)


The area I have to work in is kinda "L" shaped, so the area under the stairs is where all the bulky items end up living (foam core, cotton batting, etc). Red containers hold most of the spray paints I have.


Rough panoramic of the space I work in (no colour correction). Yes, it's a freaking mess right now, but any clean and organized space generally scares me.

Hope you enjoy my little space for my creations. They don't mind it so much.
