My Inspiration

Bob and I love the old horror movies.

We try to watch Svengoolie every Saturday night. 

We always tape the shows in case we miss it.

Last year we watched the original

Frankenstein movie starring Boris Karloff.

It was then last year as we watched this classic,

that I decided this would be my Halloween 

theme  for this year.

 

I drew up my own version of some Frankie's

Head and body.

I had purchased these heavy springs years ago.

I pulled them out and knew they would be perfect.

I only had 4 springs, so I made four Frankenstein's.

I then used the Boris Karloff image.

Printed on gray cardstock and framed.

These are selling quickly already.

I also had to make the Bride of Frankenstein.

These are selling fast too.

Finally I created this OOAK Frankie.

He had a candy corn necklace.

He sold the weekend opening of our

Mad Scientist room.

Now for a few sneak peek pics.

I took these with the overhead lights off

for a more creepy look just for you.

I used blue rope lights to make it look

like the blue blood was coming out of 

the skeleton into the glass bottle.

Hung this full size skeleton from the ceiling.

Also had more blue lights coming from 

his chest cavity into another glass bottle

on the other side of the room.

I also hung fabric bats underneath him.

I added blue Christmas lights inside

the ribs of another full size skeleton.

Bob duct taped him to the chair.

For the fireplace display,

I wanted it to look like 

blue electricity coming from these

two glass bottles.

Bob found me some blue heavy duty wire

so it looks like it is floating in air in the middle.

I had to twist the wire around the Christmas lights.

The white lights on the bottom are xray images.

Hard to see those in the dark though.

Will show the entire room again

with plenty of pics not seen here in

an upcoming post.

In other news,

Bob and I ate outside on our porch every night

until Wednesday when more storms came in.

Last night we had some doozies come in.

Lightning everywhere.

I thought for sure we would lose power.

Thankful we did not.

Speaking of storms.

Been crocheting up a storm some

stockings for the gift shop and for

my own Christmas tree.

Drew out a Santa pattern that I need to work on.

Then am going to make some different

Candy Canes.

Also been mulling over another rug would like to hook.

Just no time right now for that.

Well YAY its Friday!

What are your plans or the weekend?

Frankie Inspiration Blessings To All!
