    That coffin is going to be a piece of Gothic Greatness when it's finished. One year I used Styrofoam for my gravestones, wanting a material I could find while dumpster diving and was pleasantly surprised to find that when I sprayed them with spray paint something wonderful happened. They instantly started doing a kind of melted marshmallow thing and possessed quite a gruesome old and degenerated look that I loved! Good luck and Happy Hallowed Hammering.

    That foam looks so great with your flowers! I say leave it just as it is....hack,cough,sputter.....ok, maybe not. Looks like the start of something very cool indeed.

    Eeeeeeeee! Pink!

    BTW, when you're in Bath, be sure to have lunch/dinner at the famous Pump Room restaurant right beside the Roman Baths. It dates from Jane Austen's day and the food is good too.

    Pink and black make a nice contrast. You might want to just keep the original colour ;)

Going to the Chapel

Image
...and we're gonna get..... no life during the summer. :) (We are almost done with the Chapel, in fact, if all goes well, most of it goes up tonight. But I have not been documenting it here.  So I am going to retrospectively show you through the chapel build.) After a few years of planning, we finally decided to sell the abbey and build a chapel. The plan is that this will be easier to put together than the abbey has been.  The abbey took an entire weekend, a scissor lift and an army of people to set up.  This new chapel should go up in a few hours. This is the SketchUp plan. Front view from SketchUP Here is the real chapel that we modeled it after. Ardgowan Chapel in Scotland Yeah, we decided to phone it in this year :D

Happy National Donut Day from the Davis Graveyard

Image
Harold the Gravedigger squinted through the pre-dawn mist. A low, guttural groan echoed through the Davis Graveyard, sending a shiver down his spine. Not the usual mournful sighs of the restless dead, no. This was a sound more…sugary. More…sprinkled. Harold gripped his shovel tighter. The rumors had begun a week ago – whispers of a giant, sentient donut rolling through the cemetery at night, leaving a trail of sticky frosting and disembodied sprinkles in its wake. Tonight, he'd finally catch the culprit red-handed (or, should he say, red-glazed?). As the groan grew louder, a monstrous shape lumbered out of the fog. It was a donut, alright, but colossal. Its glazed surface shimmered under the moonlight, studded with malevolent chocolate chips and a single, menacing gumball eye. A chorus of disembodied moans rose from the disturbed graves as the donut flattened several headstones with an indifferent squish. Harold, adrenaline coursing through him, charged. "Hey, sprinkle-brained...
