Frog on the Pumpkin

Supervising. I am pouring more skulls for the Etsy store.  These new ones are coming out a lot lighter.  I really like them.  But with all concrete I cannot guarantee they will stay that way - they might, they might not.  Depends on conditions - outside or inside, in the sun, in the shade.  So they are "grayish" when you get them :D Here are the latest skulls.  I will get these listed in Etsy on Friday.  BTW - one of them might be "signed" by Hal....tried to stop him before he put his paw in the mold.....

We are making some new props so we are going to sell some of our older props. First is Comment Box Guy - he is from about 2006 - so this one is going to be hard to let go of.  But we are selling him for $300.   The next one is what we call "Mud o' Vision".  He is a mud man with a TV screen in his head - based on the ghost of Christmas past from Scrooged.  He has a 17" monitor for a head and all of the electronics are hidden inside his chest.  He is selling for $400 We kept the two wall reliefs from the original church facade we sold a few years ago and put them together added some trim pieces and made a free standing prop out of it.  It is selling for $375 So if you have some extra cash lying around.....bring your check book by and take them home with you.

I have been obsessing for months on getting back to blogging and how I would do it.  But nothing seems to be the right path. So let us do what I used to do and just start with what happened today that I thought would be interesting to share. We have a cursed prop this year.  The Celtic Cross.  We have built an abbey....how the hell can a monument prop be such a bother! Now we are a talented group, so we thought.....this is a no brainier. We thought wrong.  Let us just say, if something could go wrong or get fucked up on this prop, it happened.  Most of it is my fault....I am fine with that. So we started on the "well,.....that will do slope" - and quickly headed right through without stopping to "I am not putting that in my yard." Today I was looking at where it was, and realized, because of many reasons, I really "checked out" on this prop.  And I knew with the current climate in our house that if I told husband that I wanted to make another ...

Steve ( the Davis Graveyard Filmfest Director - he as an official directors chair to prove it) made this as part of the intermission video on our last Friday film fest. I still like him anyway :D

when it comes to spiders. I hear ya buddy.....

hanging off my arm? I am sitting here trying to think how I can type something that will come remotely close to the sound of the screaming that was going on in my head at that moment. Nope.....got nothing. Trust me, in my head it was so loud I am deaf now. Welcome my blog friends to another Frog Queen spider story....you are welcome. This journey is going to be long....so grab a bottle of rum and join the frog queen in her throne room while she tells you a new horror story........ When I was smaller - both in age and definitely in size.  We bought an old house.  Cool old farm house, run down as shit....but as a kid you are more inclined to see the possibilities rather than the real picture. And trust me, my "possibility" version did not have spiders in it. I was thinking this might be where I learned to hate spiders.....but, no, there is an older story....I will tell it to you someday....if you are nice, and I can get some th...
