Bat and demon wallpaper

Trustworth Studios creates beautiful hand silk-screened wallpaper from vintage designs originally created in the 1890s during the English Arts and Crafts Movement. And though their per role price certainly isn't cheap, they do offer one option that most other wallpaper manufacturers don't... they will sell their designs by the foot! And at just $7 per foot, that's a pretty good deal. So you can spend $21 or $28 on bat wallpaper, toss it in a frame and BOOM!- instant art.

Beware the Bacon Demon!

Silly me. All this time I'd been crafting Halloween decorations out of PVC, foam and wood. I should have known that bacon is a suitable medium as well. This bacon demon and bacon mummy were created by Rissdemeanour.

Setting up for Halloween

I would have posted more this weekend, but I was busy trying to set up my yard. It's been two years since I put up the display and it seems like everything I had in storage needs repair. I've spent half my time rebuilding, and the other half assembling. I haven't even had time to take any pictures. Here's one that my 5 year old snapped though. Not bad.

Demon radiator cap

I wish I could get one of these for my car.

Demon bucket

Here's a clever home project... To better compliment his son's samurai costume, this guy turn an Incredible Hulk candy bucket into an Oni (Japanese demon) using some red paint and a cheap Viking helmet. The big green guy never looked so good.

Winged Demons

Here's a cool new site that was brought to my attention by Kurt at Grim Visions.

I'm really impressed with the "winged demons" this woman was able to create out of chicken wire, masking tape and paper-mache. I can't wait to see more of her stuff.

Steal this idea

Check out this facade! I'd love to see someone turn the front of their house into a giant demon face. This is a photo of "L'Enfer" ("Hell") a Parisian nightclub, circa 1900. (This historic entrance was recreated by the makers of the film "The Moulin Rouge". They used it as a supposed gateway into the Montmartre section of Paris.)
